EuropaProperty is excited to reveal the finalists for the highly anticipated 14th Annual CEE Investment Awards. Set to take place on October 29th, 2024, at the InterContinental Hotel in Warsaw, this prestigious event will celebrate excellence in investment, development, and sustainability across Central and Eastern Europe. The awards ceremony will gather the region’s top real estate and investment professionals.
The CEE Investment Awards highlight the region’s dynamic growth and sustainable development opportunities. This year’s event will recognize the top-performing investors, standout companies in commercial real estate, and cutting-edge sustainable projects that are reshaping the landscape.
Among the most anticipated categories is Investor of the Year, which will honour companies and individuals who have demonstrated exceptional performance in the CEE market over the past year. The award will also acknowledge landmark transactions that have delivered solid returns and continue to drive optimism for the future.
The 2024 awards offer both an in-person gala at the InterContinental Hotel and an online experience via the CEO Networking Platform, making them accessible to a wider audience worldwide. Attendees will have the chance to network, gain insights, and discuss trends shaping the future of CEE real estate.
Craig Smith, event organizer and publisher of EuropaProperty, commented, “The CEE Investment Awards and CEO Networking Forum offer a unique platform for industry leaders to come together, share knowledge, and stay ahead of market trends. I’m proud to see how this event has evolved into the premier gathering for the investment community in Central and Eastern Europe.”
What sets the CEE Investment Awards apart is its sharp focus on the investment market, recognizing top investors, developers, bankers, and specialized service firms. It’s the only event in the region dedicated to honouring those who are driving progress and innovation in the commercial real estate sector.
Nominations were submitted online, and an independent jury of experienced real estate professionals from across the industry rigorously reviewed each submission. The shortlisted finalists will undergo a final round of evaluation, with winners being decided at an exclusive pre-gala dinner. The audit firm EY will ensure the integrity of the voting process.
Stay tuned for what promises to be a groundbreaking celebration of excellence in the CEE real estate market!
