Preparing for Cannes

During the second week in March, MIPIM – The Global Urban Festival – is taking place in Cannes. Throughout that week, thousands of industry colleagues will gather to share insights and build relationships. This year’s focus for the conference looks at housing, tech and AI, the hotel, tourism and leisure sector, accelerating decarbonisation, and a dedicated UK Hub to showcase opportunities for investment and growth.

Our team will be visiting Cannes to continue conversations from last year, learn from and share knowledge with our peers, and collaborate with new and existing contacts.

Focussing on key topics that are important to DB3 and our clients, we have carefully curated a series of round table discussions which will take place during the week.

Monday 10th March, 3pm – HRB Remediation “What to look out for”

With the introduction of the Building Safety Act 2023, we are guiding clients through the challenges of remediating their high risk buildings (HRBs) to align with current building regulations. The UK Government’s 2027 objectives have put more pressure on asset owners and there is no time to waste. Working on the largest residential remediation project in Europe has provided us with first hand insight into the challenges of fulfilling the upgrades required. We have selected our top 5 list of “what to look out for” when approaching HRB remediation projects, along with some quick wins to save a lot of wasted time and money. Join us for an informative discussion.

Tuesday 11th March, 3.30pm – Data Centres “Do you want a byte out of 2.3 trillion dollars?”

We all know that industry 4.0 is a hot topic right now. The tech transformation, an increase in the adoption of AI, and ever expanding reliance on information being available to us on a whim is pushing the industry forward. Did you know that 33 zetabytes (ZB) of data was captured, created, copied and consumed in 2019 – forecast to increase to 192 ZB by 2025. Our expert team are guiding operators and occupiers on meeting current demands and what’s in store for the future. Join us for an insight into the latest developments in data centres and tips on how to get involved in an industry that is set to grow to $2.3 trillion in the next seven years.

Wednesday 12th March, 10.30am – Decarbonisation “Biggest bang for buck”

Many estate owners are exploring their options for decarbonisation. We have found that the decisions for this are a mixture of desire to improve sustainability and a feeling of obligation. Often, the suggestions offered to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage are costly and, in some cases, not fit for purpose. These unnecessary demands on assets can sometimes result in a worse solution. With the UK Government’s impending changes to Commercial EPCs, our Building Services Engineering team are guiding clients towards the best options to upgrade their estates. Join us for insights into the “biggest bang for buck” and a debate on the future of aged assets.
