Mipim will take place in Cannes from March 15-18.
This year, 230 projects from 42 countries have been submitted to one of eleven categories of the Mipim Awards. 2016 features a new category – ‘ the Best Healthcare Development' - which focusses on a fast-growing healthcare property segment.

"The projects were carefully examined by the jury which represents the whole scope of the real estate industry. I found it particularly encouraging to see the growing number of projects in the residential category, including social housing and forward-thinking concepts. Also, the new category Best Healthcare Development is in tune with the need of healthcare facilities in an aging European society," said the President of the Jury, Barbara Knoflach, Deputy Chief Executive & Global Head of Investment Management at BNP Paribas Real Estate.

The winners will be selected by both attendees voting in Cannes for projects of their choice and the jury. The jury’s decision will count for 50% of the vote as will the attendees’ share.
