In Europe, the economic recovery is moving slowly. It is generally accepted that in the mature markets in Europe, business will continue to see slower growth, so better opportunities must be sought out in other places.

For Corporate Real Estate, supporting the business during this time requires two distinct sets of skills – how to profitably manage a shrinking portfolio in the West, whilst finding ways to move with speed to take advantage of new markets opening up in the East. Now is the time where the ability to be creative – finding innovative ways to use limited resources – will be the difference between achieving real growth and simply maintaining the status quo.

At the CoreNet Global Summit London, we explored the source of this creativity, and the courage it takes to move resolutely into a still uncertain future.
