The Czech residential market is at an historic crossroads. As we move into 2026, the industry is grappling with a "triple shift": a recovering market with high demand, the long-awaited final approval phase of Prague’s Metropolitan Plan, and yet another proposed amendment to the New Construction Act.

This seminar will look into the current situation and provide a comprehensive deep-dive into the regulatory and economic forces that will define the next decade of the Czech residential real estate market.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how we work and live at an unprecedented speed, yet many of us struggle to keep up with the pace of change or simply choose to ignore it.

Because of this, the IBF is launching a series of practical AI discussions, not only to bridge knowledge gaps, but also to make you curious about AI's potential, whether in your professional or personal lives.

Join us for the first of these discussions, taking place on Thursday, 20th November, at the offices of Cushman & Wakefield. Find out more: https://ibforum.cz/upcoming-events/.

Join us on Friday, 10th October, for another of the IBF's popular speaker lunches, this time with Cedric Maloux, the CEO and partner in StartupYard Accelerator (www.startupyard.com).
