🍺 𝗢´𝘇𝗮𝗽𝗳𝘁 𝗶𝘀 🥨 which translates to "It's tapped" – and refers to the ceremonial tapping of the first beer keg that marks the official start of Oktoberfest. The Oktoberfest is here again, and with it comes endless opportunities for fun and festivities. But did you know that there's more to the Wiesn than just beer and bratwurst? As experts in the MICE industry, we've put together some additional reasons why you should consider incorporating the Oktoberfest into your event planning. 🎵 Cultural immersion: The Oktoberfest offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself and your guests in traditional Bavarian culture. From the traditional clothing to the music and dancing, your guests will love experiencing something new and exciting. 🗨 Networking: The Oktoberfest is the perfect place to make new connections and network with other professionals in the industry. Who knows, you may even end up closing a deal over a stein of beer! 🤝 Team building: The Oktoberfest is a great way to build team morale and strengthen relationships. Encourage your employees to attend together and make memories that will last a lifetime. So, whether you're attending the Wiesn for business or pleasure, there's no denying the endless opportunities it offers.

The latest data shows that the real estate investment market in Europe has largely stabilized in terms of market activity and pricing. So, #exporeal 2024 might be a good moment to start considering the future with a little more optimism. I would welcome the possibility to meet you in Munich to discuss the current market situation and opportunities for new business cooperation.

RBB's Nuno Alvim is delighted to be participating in a panel discussion that will focus on the Digital Markets Act (DMA) from the Member State perspective at this upcoming European Competition Lawyers Association (ECLA). The DMA imposes a whole host of new and complex regulatory obligations on designated Gatekeepers. The panel will discuss some potential implications at the Member State level, including how the European Commission will measure compliance with and detect infringements of the DMA and what role (if any) the Member States will play in that; the potential interplay between the DMA and Article 22 TFEU; the possibility of parallel investigations under national law in light of bpost and Nordzucker; and the scope for private enforcement of the DMA in the national courts. #CompetitionLaw #DigitalMarketsAct #DMA

Third morning of Expo Real here and waiting to be whisked back to Finland. Thus below some gathered thoughts, none such that I deserve the credit, nor have they been fact-checked. But think such that of interest in coming year, thank you to the persons contributing to the tales of this travelling poet (you know whom you are) 1) We will see a further increase in the hotelification of real-estate (at least for offices): being closer to the cash flow as the asset owner is the theme. In short, active asset management. 2) Repositioning of student housing / affordable housing: making deserved returns on refurb of slightly tired assets is theme across Europe 3) Dry powder with insitutional investors in Germany has increased and there is a buffer to the regulatory limits, will be an active next cycle when this is deployed 4) New asset class of ”Medical offices” growing in US: think I know what this means but worth a check 5) AI consumption of energy: a chat GPT search consumes a double digit multiple of energy compared to a traditional google search. Interesting for the grid Finally, Deloitte hosted a Dinner in central Munich which at least I enjoyed - great crowd. Thank you to all who joined and thank you for co-hosting Abhishek Jaiswal Tinus Bang Christensen Martin Franck Shalom DeSouza Daria Babanina Anna Persson Andrew Stanford Finally part two, award for the best Octoberfest story goes to Mads Skaarup . Mads - you may pick up your prize from Anna, Daria or I when you in Helsinki or Stockholm next.
