Off to the EXPO REAL property fair in Munich

4 September 2025

Hamburg presents itself with 55 partners

EXPO REAL is considered one of the most important international trade fairs for property and investment in Europe. Hamburg will once again be showing its strength this year in Munich from 6 to 8 October 2025: 55 companies will be exhibiting at the joint stand of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. This makes the stand once again one of the largest at the trade fair and reflects the diversity and innovative strength of Hamburg as a property and business location.

Karen Pein, Hamburg's Senator for Urban Development and Housing, comments:

"EXPO REAL will once again be an important source of inspiration for the construction and property industry in 2025. In order to meet the current challenges, we in Hamburg are focusing on cost-efficient construction, optimised planning processes, faster approval procedures and targeted funding - especially in social housing. Our new Hamburg standard shows how construction costs can be reduced by up to a third, even in privately financed housing construction. It is being tested in practice in the Wilhelmsburger Rathausviertel pilot neighbourhood and in 13 construction projects in all seven districts. Overall, it is clear that residential construction in Hamburg is making tangible progress again despite the challenging conditions."

Dr Andreas Dressel, Senator for Finance and Districts, presents a project with special appeal in Munich:

"Hamburg is an excellent place for property investments. Our North Sea island of Neuwerk is no exception, which is why we are focussing our attention there this year. We are looking for committed operators who want to work with us to shape the future of the hotel and catering industry on Neuwerk. The City of Hamburg is ready to act as a reliable partner - and offers attractive conditions for entrepreneurial commitment at a very special location in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will be presenting our plans and the properties in question at the EXPO and look forward to welcoming numerous interested parties!"

Dr Rolf Strittmatter, Managing Director of Hamburg Invest, emphasises the special role of Hamburg's presence at the trade fair:

"I am particularly pleased that we are once again represented at the trade fair with 55 partners. This shows how strongly Hamburg's property scene is networked and how much the location benefits from a joint presence. This year, Hamburg Invest is focussing on the Hamburg Innovation Parks. They are the future locations for talents, start-ups and technology-orientated companies. The portfolio of offers for the Altona Innovation Park as the northern prelude to Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld now offers space for future industries such as life sciences and creates even more innovative strength for the location by combining science and business."

HafenCity Hamburg GmbH will once again be one of the main stand partners and will be presenting current development projects.

Dr Andreas Kleinau, CEO, says: "As a shaper of innovative urban development, we are actively driving Hamburg's future forward. At EXPO REAL, we will be presenting the latest development steps in HafenCity, Grasbrook, Billebogen and Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld. This year, the focus will be on specific areas that open up new opportunities for living, working and leisure - including the planned sports and event arena in the new piggyback station."

Programme highlights at the stand

As a popular meeting place for the industry, the joint Hamburg stand will also offer a compact programme in 2025:

On Monday, 6 October, 16:00, the "Hamburg.HafenCity.Talk" will open the series with Senator Karen Pein, Dr Andreas Kleinau and Dr Rolf Strittmatter;"Networking @ Hamburg" will follow from 19:00 with music, burgers and drinks.

On Tuesday, 7 October at 2:30 p.m., under the title"Shaping the future: Hotel industry and living space on Hamburg's Neuwerk island", the focus will be on the further development of Neuwerk - with Finance Senator Dr Andreas Dressel and island warden Christian Griebel.

Two innovative Hamburg start-ups, VisioPlan, which brings construction projects to life in virtual reality, and Trassets, which digitises property management and makes it more transparent, will be represented at the joint stand.
