Akerton’s head of public incentives and forensic attends the 6th IESE Real Estate Industry Meeting

The real estate sector is currently changing due to the convergence of different game changing forces. The head of real estate in Akerton, José Luis Sanchidrián, attended this event along with some of the most important companies in the sector.

In recent years, a large influx of foreign capital has driven the Spanish real estate. This has changed the strategies required in the investment of international funds in the country, adding to the threat of a global economic slowdown and the uncertainty in the political environment.

The 6th IESE Real Estate Industry Meeting, on the 30th of January, 2020, focused on the different ways in which the stakeholders respond to these issues and adapt their strategies.
