Some 18,000 delegates from 81 countries met for business at the 21st edition of Mipim this week, slightly up on the 17,658 visitors and 79 countries registered in 2009 when the financial crisis hit real estate markets full force. In a sign of improved industry sentiment, the number of investment companies which attended the fair was up 10% at 1,118 compared with last year.
Ares, Coima and MEAG are three investors which have closed multiple acquisitions in the last few weeks.
