MIPIM launches Challengers Alumni Network as programme nears 100 members

Paris, 24 September 2026. MIPIM has launched its Challengers Alumni Network as applications open for the 2027 Challengers programme. Once the next cohort is selected, the network will include more than 100 emerging leaders from across the global built environment.

The new Alumni Association intends to create a powerful international community of emerging leaders from across the built environment, helping to shape the next chapter of real estate while nurturing and mentoring younger generations.

The 2027 programme, sponsored by global design agency Saguez & Partners, will challenge applicants to do more than demonstrate professional achievement. This year's theme, "Challenge the Unchallengeable", asks candidates to identify an accepted belief, convention or assumption within the built environment that deserves to be questioned.

In approximately 200 words, applicants are invited to explain what needs to change, why it matters and what impact a different approach could have on the future of the industry.

There are no right or wrong answers. MIPIM is looking for original thinking, curiosity and the confidence to challenge established ideas.

As part of the application process, candidates are also asked to nominate a senior professional who can endorse their participation in the programme.

 

Selected Challengers will receive a Full Pass to MIPIM 2027, access to the event's networking platform, invitations to exclusive webinars and workshops, and reserved places at selected roundtable discussions with senior industry leaders.

As part of the programme, each Challenger will interview a C-level executive from their company, which will be published on MIPIM’s channels and on the MIPIM World Blog. The initiative encourages Challengers to leverage MIPIM’s growing platform by engaging with senior decision-makers to discuss fresh perspectives on the future of the industry.

Launched in 2024 to give the next generation of real estate professionals a voice, the MIPIM Challengers programme has become an established network of young professionals connected by a shared interest in the future of cities, investment and the built environment, with participants from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and many other countries.

Nicolas Boffi, Director of MIPIM, said:

"One of the lessons I have learned from real estate is that many of the industry's biggest changes start by questioning something that was once seen as obvious. The rise of data centres, flexible living, branded residences or new forms of private capital would have looked like niche topics not so long ago. Today they are shaping investment decisions around the world."

"That is why this year we are asking applicants to challenge something that many people take for granted. Real estate moves forward when people are prepared to look at familiar problems differently. We are looking for people who are ready to do exactly that."

"Reaching 100 members in our alumni network is an important milestone. It means we now have a community that extends well beyond a single edition of MIPIM. Challengers stay connected, exchange ideas, and build relationships across borders and disciplines. Those connections will matter throughout their careers."

• Full Pass access to MIPIM 2027
• Access to the MIPIM Meeting Platform
