West Midlands
at MIPIM

MIPIM is the leading international event in the real estate calendar.

MIPIM gathers the most influential players from all sectors of the international property industry, with over 20,000 delegates from 80 countries coming together with 2,400 exhibitors for four days of face-to-face networking, discussions and learning through premium events, conferences and dedicated exhibition zones.

The West Midlands will be attending MIPIM 2026 to promote the vast investment opportunities available in the region. We’ll engage with the European real estate market across a number of sectors and topics.

As the top destination for Foreign Direct Investment outside London in 2024-25, and boasting a £117bn economy, the West Midlands is thriving and continues to be a premier destination for global real estate investors and occupiers alike.

The West Midlands’ activity and delegation at MIPIM 2026 are currently being planned. Return here for all announcements and information in the next few weeks.

An ecosystem that operates at scale

The West Midlands is home to three globally renowned and distinctive cities: Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton. It has consistently ranked as one of the most attractive UK destinations for international investment. The region is also a key driver in the UK’s economic prosperity and presents a compelling offer to those looking to invest.

  • We have a fast-growing economy, worth around £117bn – about the same size as Slovakia.
  • Our region enjoys unrivalled connectivity – we have the UK’s second busiest railway station, the UK’s third largest regional airport and around 90% of the UK’s population within a four-hour drive.
  • We have a flourishing talent pool – stocked by a young and diverse population of 4.7m people. This includes 90,000 graduates from nine internationally recognised universities.

But the West Midlands also offers an unrivalled quality of life – world-class entertainment and leisure assets, excellent schools, universities and healthcare facilities and where homes are around 60% cheaper compared to London.
