The Emirate of Dubai is set to host the 21st edition of the International Property Show IPS 2025 from April 14 to 16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event will bring together leading real estate developers, investors, and real estate investment funds to discuss the latest trends in the sector and explore promising investment opportunities.
As part of the event, the “Institutional Investor Conference” will be held on April 14 and 15, bringing together top institutional investors, real estate investment funds, senior officials from the Dubai International Financial Centre, government entities, and financial experts. The conference aims to exchange insights on global real estate investment strategies, development prospects in the UAE market, and the role of investment funds in supporting the sector’s sustainable growth. Real estate investment funds are considered a key pillar in attracting local and international capital, as they contribute to financing major projects across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of the real estate market in the country.
Estimates indicate that the UAE accounts for more than 75% of family offices in the region, with half of them based in Dubai, managing total assets worth approximately $3 trillion (AED 11 trillion).
Dawood Al Shezawi, Chairman of IPS, affirmed that Dubai continues to strengthen its position as a global investment destination, thanks to its advanced infrastructure and flexible regulatory framework. He highlighted that real estate investment funds offer lucrative opportunities for investors, with the potential for competitive returns amid the thriving real estate market in the emirate.
The conference will cover key topics, including future trends of real estate investment funds, the evolution of financing models, strategies for attracting foreign investments, as well as assessing risks and returns in regional and global real estate markets. It will also serve as a platform for investors to make informed decisions in light of economic and legislative changes affecting the sector.
