The City of Ljubljana was on show at the ‘MIPIM 2012’ property fair in Cannes, France.

‘MIPIM 2012’, one of the largest international investment-property fairs in Europe, ran in Cannes, France, from Tuesday 6 to Friday 9 March. The City of Ljubljana took part for the fifth year running.

The MIPIM fair is the largest international property hub, where the most influential property decision-makers and investors from around the world gather annually to showcase the latest property trends and key global investment projects. For the City of Ljubljana this fair is an opportunity to present the Slovenian capital’s investment environment to potential investors as well as Ljubljana’s practical investment projects.

The City of Ljubljana was present at the exhibition space with the Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship and Foreign Investments - JAPTI and representatives of individual investment projects under the slogan ‘Slovenia: Development Through Sports, Investing in Human Resources’. Their key focus was on presenting the development of sports and sporting projects in Slovenia.

The following projects were on show at MIPIM 2012:

- Planica Nordic Centre,
- Portoval Sports Hall in Novo Mesto,
- Podutik Ski Centre,
- ŽAK Athletics Hall in Ljubljana,
- Bežigrad Sports Park (Plečnik’s stadium),
- Ilirija Swimming and Gymnastics Centre,
- Kolezija Swimming Baths,
- Petkovšek & Pegan Gymnastics Centre.

On Tuesday 6 March, Ljubljana sporting facilities were showcased by City of Ljubljana Deputy Mayor Prof Janez Koželj, Head of the Urban Planning Department Miran Gajšek MA and Head of the Sport Department Marko Kolenc.

On Wednesday 7 March, Deputy Mayor Prof Janez Koželj and Head of the Urban Planning Department Miran Gajšek MA participated in a round table entitled ‘How to allocate public space’.

This year, the common Slovenian exhibition space had an outstanding strategic location, as it was alongside the largest German exhibitors. The stand was in zone B on the 4th floor, a big step forward from previous years and proved Ljubljana’s visibility at the fair.
