The Irish government is making a bid to secure international investment by staging a pavilion at the upcoming MIPIM event in the south of France.
Marché International des Professionels de l’Immoblier is recognised as one of the most important conferences for international property investors, attracting over 20,000 delegates and €4 trillion in assets under management.
The Dublin government says it “presents a very significant opportunity for Ireland to attract private investment to support the supply of new homes across the country.”
MIPIM 2026 is being held at Cannes, France from March 9 to 12.
Attendees include property investors, funders, developers, industry advisers and consultants, senior politicians, mayors, officials and policy advisors from around the globe.
With an estimated €20 billion per year in development finance required to deliver at least 300,000 new homes by 2030, strong international competition for private investment and decreasing trends in the inflow of such capital to Ireland in recent years, Ireland at MIPIM 2026 is seen as an important opportunity for the country.
A Dublin government spokesperson says: “We have a new comprehensive housing action plan, Delivering Homes and Building Communities 2025-30, and an ambitious target of 300,000 new homes to deliver during its lifetime.
“In a volatile global environment, Ireland provides a stable and attractive venue for investment.
“We are determined to create the best possible environment for building and investment. Investment is at the heart of our ambitions to deliver the homes needed.
“That is why we are enabling critical space for private capital to complement the largest ever levels of State investment in our history in infrastructure and housebuilding.”
Ireland at MIPIM 2026 will centre on an ‘Ireland’ pavilion at the conference which will host a programme of panel discussions and information sessions to highlight the operational environment and growth potential for residential development in Ireland.
