Road to Zero by MIPIM

Low carbon solutions for construction and renovation

Road to Zero combines exhibition, networking and conference sessions, now in Palais 3.

What is Road to Zero?

MIPIM has made a commitment to lead the way globally in zero carbon events. In Cannes, we have dedicated an entire exhibition zone to this challenge, dubbed Road to Zero (RTZ), to help the international real estate industry take concrete steps toward a zero-carbon future.

From regulatory pressures to financing challenges, end-user demand and the growing risks of obsolescence and brown discounts, the challenge to reduce carbon has never been greater. We stand side-by-side with the real estate industry as it seeks concrete solutions for today as well as inspiration and insights for the future.

Our new RTZ initiative combines exhibition space, networking and collaboration opportunities, plus a rich conference programme on the low and zero carbon topics. RTZ brings together experts in low-carbon solutions for construction and renovation, ecosystem specialists, as well as leaders in the design, development and management of buildings that are seeking to drive change.

There is also space for stakeholders addressing energy (management, reduction, transition), low-carbon materials and infrastructure, certification and compliance, and mobility challenges to promote sustainability in urban environments.

Come discover the latest low carbon solutions, obtain insights on future trends and find business partners.
