REAL BELGIUM TALKS – Tech vs. Real Estate Giants

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
Hubert Rhomberg, CEO & Co-owner, Rhomberg Holding
Jean-Marc Zola, Building Segments President, Schneider Electric

WHERE :
Auditorium K (+4 floor)
