WTCA Marks 22nd Successful Year at MIPIM

Apr 08, 2014

NEW YORK, NY, U.S.A. - WTCA marked its 22nd year at the MIPIM International Property Fair in Cannes, France, March 11-14, 2014. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, MIPIM 2014 drew 20,500 delegates from 93 countries, including 4,500 investors, who gathered in Cannes for a frenetic four days of business meetings and high-level industry talks.

WTCA’s premiere stand location, just beyond the main entrance to the show, afforded our organization maximum exposure. The WTCA team secured more than 40 meetings with potential licensees and affinity partners during the 4-day event. 

More than 10 World Trade Centers licensees and option holders took advantage of the WTCA stand and discounted MIPIM entry with the objective of showcasing their project for investment and securing developers to build future World Trade Center complexes, including:

  • Option for WTC Ballerup
  • WTC Bangalore
  • WTC Bordeaux
  • WTC Qatar
  • WTC Gibraltar
  • WTC Helsingborg
  • WTC Lille
  • WTC Lyon
  • WTC Malmo
  • WTC Nanjing
  • WTC Nice
  • WTC Stockholm
WTCA was fortunate to have secured both a MIPIM News interview as well as panel participation for WTCA CEO, Eric Dahl. Featured during the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors’ panel session titled, “Just Imagine: Real Estate 2030”, Eric joined experts who projected global real estate trends and the skills sets of the future to meet evolving workplace needs.

This year, our stand showcased the World Trade Center Gibraltar Project Model. View this testimonial video from WTC Gibraltar: Testimonial Video
