Innovating Real Estate and Construction
Trends and Inclusiveness 2025
21 October 2025 – 9:30 to 14:30 – The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection
The British-Romanian Chamber of Commerce, together with the Romanian Diversity Chamber of Commerce, proudly presents the second edition of Innovating Real Estate & Construction: Trends and Inclusiveness, taking place on 21 October 2025 at The Marmorosch Hotel, Bucharest.
The conference convenes Romania’s leading developers, investors, designers and policy-makers to examine how the built-environment is digitising, decarbonising and diversifying—while keeping people front-and-centre. This year’s programme distils eight research-driven priorities: PropTech 2.0, near-zero-energy buildings, renovation finance, prefabrication & 3-D printing, adaptive reuse, 15-minute-city planning, universal design and social-impact funding.
Structured across three focused panels, the event explores market trends, accessibility and inclusive design, and the evolving legislative framework, illustrating every theme with high-impact Romanian and international case studies. Through conversations with industry leaders, legal specialists and design innovators, participants will clarify compliance obligations, see how best-in-class projects embed accessibility from concept to completion, and collect practical tactics they can deploy in their own portfolios.
By fostering dialogue between business, government and civil society, the conference equips attendees with the insights, contacts and strategies needed to deliver sustainable, inclusive and financially resilient developments—positioning accessible real estate as an essential value driver for 2025 and beyond.
