Welcome - November 2019
This Summer, we held the INREV Young Professionals Conference in Lisbon attended by 175 of the industry’s rising stars who are getting ready to run with the baton, and take the industry forward into the next generation.

Over the past year, we too at INREV have made progress in laying the foundations and creating the building blocks to future proof our association. We are progressing well with the IT roadmap, we have just launched an eLearning platform and we’ve increased the number of indices to ten, including the Asset Level Index and the European ODCE Consultation Index, which both contribute to increased transparency across the board.
We’ve continued to work with our global partners this year and strengthen those ties as we see this as a crucial step to be able to meet the needs of our growing membership who are too, becoming increasingly more global. Not only do we need to cater to the larger players but also meet the needs of the smaller more niche players, and this is something we’ll give particular attention to going forward.

We’ve just launched a paper, ‘Coming of age: the rebirth and renewal of the non-listed real estate industry’, which looks at the past ten years and how much the industry has changed, with the emergence of new products which with them, bring new regulation. Jeff Rupp, INREV’s Director of Public Affairs will touch on the evolution that is happening in Brussels, when the new parliament will take seat, and that is something we’ll continue to work hard on in ensuring that the interests of our industry are appropriately represented at policy level for the years to come.
Thank you for what has been a great year, it has been wonderful to see the INREV community grow throughout 2019, welcoming many members at the various events and training opportunities and we’ll be kicking of 2020 with the Investment Intentions Roadshow in January where I hope to see many of you there.
