EXPO REAL, Europe’s largest international trade fair for real estate and investment, will launch its inaugural Asia Pacific edition in Singapore from 15 to 17 June 2026 at Suntec Singapore. Building on 26 years of success in Munich, EXPO REAL Asia Pacific 2026 comprises a trade fair and conference covering real estate, infrastructure and investment. Leveraging Singapore’s prime location as a hub to access opportunities across the wider Asia Pacific region, the event will convene international investors, developers, asset managers and public-sector stakeholders to explore investment opportunities, market trends and capital strategies across key markets such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, The Philippines, and Vietnam.
Asia Pacific real estate markets are showing renewed momentum, supported by strengthening economic conditions across key markets, easing tariff pressures and the start of rate-cutting cycles. Investment activity reached USD 40.3 billion in Q4 2025, representing a 15% year-on-year increase while full-year volumes rose to USD 147.6 billion, the strongest annual performance since 2021. Liquidity is returning across the region, reflected in renewed REIT debuts, IPO activity, and increased M&A as investors seek scale through operator-led platforms and operationally intensive sectors. These market dynamics are expected to underpin discussions throughout EXPO REAL Asia Pacific, as global and regional investors assess capital deployment strategies and market opportunities across the region.
“Asia Pacific has become a central focus for global real estate capital, supported by improving market conditions and long-term urban demand. With investment activity picking up across the region, there is strong demand for a focused platform that connects global capital with opportunities on the ground. EXPO REAL Asia Pacific is designed to facilitate those connections and bring our platform closer to stakeholders actively shaping the region’s growth.” said Mr Michael Wilton, CEO & Managing Director of MMI Asia, organiser of EXPO REAL Asia Pacific, who has over 20 years of experience establishing and scaling international exhibitions across Asia and leads Messe München’s Southeast Asia expansion from Singapore.
The event will spotlight companies and projects across 9 key markets, including Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Australia, featuring cities, development agencies, and public-sector stakeholders presenting large-scale urban development and infrastructure projects open to global investment and public-private partnerships.
Other exhibitors include Bureau Veritas, a global leader in inspection and certification services; Howden Insurance Brokers, an international insurance intermediary operating in 56 countries; MAUCHER CONSULT, an independent European real estate advisory firm; Moore Global, a professional services network operating in 116 countries; and PlanRadar, a digital platform supporting documentation and project transparency in construction and real estate.
“We are pleased to participate in EXPO REAL Asia Pacific in Singapore, which serves as an important platform for real estate and infrastructure sectors to engage with regional and international investors. The event brings together key decision-makers and offers valuable networking opportunities, market insights, and discussions that support investment growth and long-term development across Asia Pacific,” said Mr Songwut Apirakkhit, Director of Investment Services Division, Eastern Economic Corridor Office of Thailand and Founding Partner of EXPO REAL Asia Pacific.
EXPO REAL Asia Pacific will feature projects across key asset classes including hospitality and tourism, data centres and digital infrastructure, industrial and logistics, offices and mixed-use developments, reflecting the region’s evolving investment priorities. There will also be two conferences: the Capital & Connections Conference focused on capital markets, investment strategies, and asset performance, and the Place Leadership Forum spotlighting cities and regional development and bringing together public- and private-sector leaders to discuss urban growth, destination development, digitalisation, and emerging investment opportunities.
Among the headline speakers is Mr Hamish MacDonald, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer, APAC Real Estate, BlackRock, who will join a senior investor panel on Financing Real Estate Investments in Asia Pacific, sharing his perspectives on global capital flows, portfolio repositioning strategies and how institutional investors are underwriting risk and opportunity across Asia Pacific markets amid shifting macroeconomic conditions.
Representing long-term global institutional capital, Mr Alessandro Fiascaris, Head of Asia Pacific, Oxford Properties Group, will discuss deployment strategies across gateway and emerging markets, platform partnerships and the role of patient capital in driving sustainable urban growth across the region in a session titled Global Perspectives on Investments in Asia Pacific across Asset Classes, alongside a panel of senior real estate leaders.
Also featured is internationally recognised urbanist Professor Greg Clark from United Kingdom, who will examine how cities are competing for capital, innovation and talent, and what this means for infrastructure investment, mixed-use development and the next generation of place leadership in Asia Pacific.
These speakers, alongside a distinguished line-up of global real estate and infrastructure leaders, will offer forward-looking perspectives on capital markets and urban transformation across Asia Pacific.
Beyond the stage discussions, curated forums, targeted networking and business matchmaking sessions will further connect market leaders and decision-makers to build partnerships and advance commercial opportunities.
