The Construction, Infrastructure and Real Estate Summit, organised by Newsweek Romania, focuses on investment and development prospects across these sectors. Now in its seventh edition, the event puts project financing, the challenges facing the construction industry and developments in the property market at the centre of the debate.
Rising costs, labour shortages and administrative hurdles are putting pressure on companies and affecting the pace of investment. The end of the implementation period for Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) also raises questions about the continuation of public projects and the identification of alternative funding sources
The Summit will explore solutions to these obstacles and the role of cooperation between public authorities and businesses in accelerating Romania’s development.
Access to finance and a predictable administrative framework are essential for both infrastructure projects and real estate investment.
At the same time, shifts in housing demand and buyers’ expectations are influencing developers’ decisions, from site selection and construction quality to the integration of new technologies.
The event’s agenda is structured around two main themes: construction and infrastructure, and investment, financing and trends in the property market.
The first panel will address investment priorities, cutting red tape and maintaining the pace of construction once the PNRR comes to an end.
Discussions will also examine performance guarantee mechanisms, focusing on safeguarding public investment and their impact on contractors’ liquidity.
The second panel will explore the outlook for the residential market, trends in supply, demand and prices, and the influence of financing costs and access to credit. Discussions will cover investment opportunities across the residential, office, logistics and retail segments, changes in homebuyer profiles, and the role of technology and artificial intelligence in property development and management.
