13:15 - 14:00 | Brownfield vs. Greenfield: Reducing land consumption constructively and sustainably

Land consumption must be reduced in order to achieve sustainability goals. The focus is shifting to pre-used and brownfield sites and properties. In the coming years, companies and local authorities will have to address the question of whether the existing demand for space can be met by prioritizing the development of brownfield sites. What opportunities and potential are opening up for business and the public sector and where are the pain points that need to be overcome or eliminated?

14:15 - 15:00 | Coffee break

15:00 - 16:00 | Commercial space requirements and new concepts

Depending on economic and technological developments, demand may shift significantly over the next few years. What will the need for commercial space look like in the future, what do the forecasts say? Which sectors are looking for space - and where? We will look at where there is potential space, what hurdles need to be overcome in the designation of new sites and what financing options are available, including leaseholds. And finally: What are the right concepts for new commercial space?

16:00 - 16:45 | Land policy from the perspective of industrial companies

What motivates companies - and what are their plans for the future? The requirements for new space vary depending on the sector and size. We would like to find out: What difficulties do they face when searching for, designating and building on new sites? What can local authorities do better from a company perspective to speed up processes and optimize existing site conditions?
