Downtown in Business gears up for its biggest MIPIM delegation yet!

Our Cannes programme is designed to help you make meaningful connections and do business.

Cannes 2027 – Connecting Business, Investment and Political Leadership.

Downtown in Business is preparing for its biggest and most ambitious programme yet at MIPIM 2027, bringing together leading businesses, developers, investors and senior political decision-makers from across the UK.

Our growing delegation already includes major partners Laing O’Rourke, AtkinsRéalis, Nugent and Steven Hunt Associates, with further partners set to be announced over the coming weeks.

Our flagship MIPIM Leaders Lunch will once again bring together some of the UK’s most influential local government figures, with confirmed speakers including:

  • Tom Stannard – Chief Executive, Manchester City Council
  • Pam Smith – Chief Executive, Newcastle City Council
  • Nick Gerrard – Executive Director for Growth, Blackpool Council

More speakers, events and exciting partnership announcements will follow.

But DIB at MIPIM is about much more than attending events.

We work closely with our partners to understand their business development ambitions, identify key target contacts and facilitate valuable introductions.

We put you in the right rooms, with the right people.

Whether you’re looking to build relationships with city leaders, connect with developers and investors, explore new opportunities or raise your organisation’s profile, our Cannes programme is designed to help you make meaningful connections and do business.
