Three days. Countless conversations. One shared focus.
At EXPO REAL 2026 in Munich, customers, partners and industry professionals joined the Planon Real Estate team to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping today's real estate market.
From portfolio strategy and asset performance to project control and risk management, one theme consistently emerged throughout the event:
Organisations are looking for greater transparency, faster insights and better control in an increasingly complex environment. They need reliable information that helps them understand where they stand today and make confident decisions about tomorrow.
Over three days, our stand in Hall A3 became a place where ideas were exchanged, experiences were shared and future ambitions were discussed. Together with visitors, we explored how connected data, stronger processes and digital technology can help transform complexity into confident decision-making across the real estate lifecycle.
With the right information available in clear dashboards and reports, real estate professionals can spend less time gathering and verifying data and more time acting on it.
The conversations that mattered most
The real estate industry is evolving rapidly. Across meetings, presentations and informal discussions, four topics repeatedly surfaced as priorities for organisations across the sector.
Portfolio & Asset Management
How can organisations gain better insight into portfolio performance, identify opportunities earlier and support more informed investment decisions?
By bringing portfolio and asset information together, decision-makers can compare scenarios, monitor performance and make transparent decisions based on consistent data.
Project Control
How can project teams improve forecasting, maintain visibility and stay in control throughout increasingly complex developments?
Current information on costs, schedules, revenues and progress helps teams understand project performance at a glance, respond earlier and remain in control today and tomorrow.
Risk Mitigation
How can organisations identify risks and changing assumptions earlier, before they impact value, schedules or project outcomes?
Making risks visible is the first step towards managing them. Connected information and clear reporting help teams recognise negative developments earlier, assess their potential impact and take mitigating action before issues escalate.
Connected Real Estate Data
How can data be connected across portfolios, assets and projects to improve transparency and support better decisions?
When information is available in one connected environment, dashboards and reports can provide decision-makers with up-to-date insights at the touch of a button. This creates a shared and transparent basis for communication, reporting and action.
These discussions reinforced a common challenge: organisations need trusted information they can act upon with confidence. They want to move away from fragmented spreadsheets and time-consuming manual reporting towards accessible insights that support faster, more transparent decisions.
Perspectives from our experts
The conversations at EXPO REAL did not end on the exhibition floor. Throughout the event, our experts shared their views on the challenges and developments shaping the future of real estate.

More than a stand
Our 84 m² corner stand in Hall A3 was designed to be more than a place for meetings.
It became a hub for exchanging ideas, discussing market developments and building connections across the real estate community. The open stand concept, welcoming atmosphere and hospitality created the ideal setting for planned meetings, spontaneous conversations and new opportunities.
Throughout the exhibition, the stand welcomed a continuous flow of customers, partners and industry professionals, generating valuable discussions about the future of real estate.
Supporting confident decisions today and tomorrow
EXPO REAL provided an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of the Planon Real Estate portfolio and discuss our customers’ future ambitions.
Whether the conversation focused on portfolio strategy, project performance, investment decisions or operational challenges, the objective remained the same:
Helping organisations turn information into action and make transparent, well-founded decisions.
By connecting data across the real estate lifecycle, organisations can establish a reliable foundation for dashboards, reporting, forecasting and risk management. This supports a clearer picture of current performance and a more informed view of possible future developments.
Instead of reacting to issues after they occur, teams can recognise changes sooner, explore different scenarios and take action to protect performance and value.
