Milan hosts MAPIC Italian edition

The Italian market has recovered over the past years at a fast pace and is likely to become one of the global hotspots for retail real estate investment, attracting an increasing amount of international investors and retailers. Due to the growing interest in the Italian market MAPIC Italy will take place for the first time the 24th and 25th of May in Milan, an ideal opportunity for key players of the industry to obtain an overview and forecast of the Italian market and at the same time find potential partners. More than 1,000 delegates and 350 retailers from over 24 countries are expected to attend the inaugural retail real estate event. Around 30 leading Italian and international retail real estate heavyweights will be exhibiting at MAPIC Italy, where both quantity and quality are guaranteed. The event will be introduced by Oscar Farinetti, founder of Eataly, who will present the first conference session „Why is Italy Magic for Retailers?“, where a panel of speakers will relate success stories and discuss business opportunities and expectations in the retail industry in Italy. Further on a key session entitled „Meet the New 'in VOGUE' Retailers!“ will be held. This high-energy session co-organised with CNCC and retail&food will offer participants the chance to discover 10 new retail concepts with high potential and expand their business network.
