MAPIC 2014: A major new real estate conference to bring together developers and retailers in China will be launched next year.
Reed MIDEM, the organiser of MIPIM and MAPIC, this morning launched Retail Real Estate Market, a two-day event to take place at the InterContinental hotel in Shanghai, China.
The event will be held on 11-12 June and aims to bring together international and regional retail brands with Chinese shopping mall owners and developers.
MAPIC director Nathalie Depetro said: “The growth of disposable income in China has led to a boom in retail business and a surge in the development of world-class shopping malls throughout the country. The strong demand from Chinese customers for international brands coincides with these brands’ desire to enter the dynamic Chinese market.”
Filippo Rean, director of Reed MIDEM’s real estate division, added: “The growth of China’s retail sector makes this the right time to bring together international and regional retailers to do business with China’s shopping mall owners.”
