Greater Porto attends MIPIM with more than six thousand investors

For four days, the municipalities of Porto, Gaia and Matosinhos are present at MIPIM, which brings together more than six thousand investors and international financial institutions in Cannes. The objective of the joint Greater Porto strategy is to attract investment to the entire Atlantic Front region.

The participation in the world's largest event dedicated to the real estate market, a synergetic cooperation between the territories that takes place for the first time, also seeks to create opportunities to foster and strengthen territorial alliances. The mayors of the three municipalities will therefore take part in initiatives such as the "Building Territories of the Future" conference with the mayors of Malaga and Madrid.

Throughout the event, the "Great Talks, Great Investments" will demonstrate, share and talk with all interested parties about the projects of greatest interest in each Atlantic Front municipality.

Since the creation of the Greater Porto brand, a collaborative dialogue has been assumed by Porto, Gaia and Matosinhos to discuss joint strategies and attract investment, building a shared future.

At this moment, the strategy is already attracting talent, startups and international companies. This field will also be highlighted at MIPIM, which, in this edition, counts with the participation of the business centre Lionesa Business Hub, the companies REVITO, Chave Nova and Retail Mind and The Fladgate Partnership group, in the conference "Collaborative Cities: Designing, Implementing and Sustaining Strategic Partnerships".

The award for Porto City Hall's investment attraction strategy, recognised by fDi Intelligence, of the Financial Times, which placed it at the top of the European Cities of the Future, was delivered on Tuesday, at MIPIM, to the Mayor, Rui Moreira, and the councillor for Economy, Employment and Entrepreneurship, Ricardo Valente.

In addition to a trade fair showcasing the most relevant developments in the real estate sector, MIPIM also brings a vast cycle of conferences and a number of initiatives, as a way to encourage networking between investors, financial institutions and the municipalities represented.
