Collaboration or Competition?
As more technology companies such as Google, Amazon, Siemens, Toyota try to integrate parts of the construction and Real Estate value-chain, and as developers are increasingly integrate technology in their buildings (buildings become like smartphones: hardware, an operating system and software), a fundamental question arises: what will be the relation between the Real Estate developers and the Tech Giants?
Will their skill sets overlap, will they become direct competitors in developing and operating the cities of tomorrow? Or can they partner up?
Speakers:
- Mark Kuijpers, Senior Managing Director – Central Europe Greystar

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is reshaping how real estate companies measure and communicate their sustainability impact. But while CSRD is a step forward, it remains imperfect and evolving—raising challenges for businesses of all sizes. Instead of treating it as a mere compliance exercise, how can we leverage its shortcomings to drive real impact, enhance investment strategies, and future-proof assets?
Join us at MIPIM 2025 for a dynamic discussion featuring leading developers, investors, architect and CSRD experts, including voices from Sureal, Atenor, Citydev, and B2Ai. Together, we’ll explore:
- How Brussels-based innovation is shaping more meaningful and actionable sustainability strategies.
- Why CSRD compliance isn’t enough—and how forward-thinking companies can turn regulation into competitive advantage.
- The critical role of SMEs in supporting larger companies’ ESG commitments.
- Real-world case studies showcasing low-carbon development, value chain analysis, and sustainable investment models.
Whether you’re an international investor, developer, or policymaker, this session will provide practical insights and strategic foresight to navigate CSRD’s complexities—and turn its limitations into opportunities for transformation.
