A large number of companies and potential investors attended today the investment conference "Invest in Serbia: Real Estate" held at the Pavilion of Serbia at Expo 2020 Dubai, which presented aspects and opportunities for investment in the construction of commercial real estate projects, industrial and retail parks in our country.
The conference was officially opened by Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications and General Commissioner of the Republic of Serbia for Expo Tatjana Matic.
She underlined that good relations at the highest level and partnership cooperation that we nurture with the United Arab Emirates are very important for both our businessmen and investors, who are given the opportunity to be further convinced that Serbia is a real investment destination, where their investments and jobs are safe and welcome.
Our goal is to increase economic cooperation and the flow of investments between Serbia and the UAE, but also between Serbia and the entire MEASA region, using Dubai and the UAE as a centre of cooperation and the continuation of our good relations, the Minister emphasised.
Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Tomislav Momirovic presented the construction sector at the conference and highlighted that Expo is an exceptional opportunity to pass on everything we do and build successfully in our part of the world and to be even more successful as a country, through joint investments.
The Development Agency of Serbia (RAS), which together with the Operational Team for the realisation of Serbia's performance at Expo 2020 Dubai organises investment conferences at the Pavilion of Serbia, presented to the audience what makes Serbia a leader in the region and beyond when it comes to direct investments and what are the factors due to which more and more investors from all over the world are choosing Serbia for their future projects.
The segment of construction and adaptation of spa capacities was highlighted, which offer room for direct investment in the real estate, as well as for encouraging tourism, since spas in Serbia are becoming one of the most visited locations among tourists.
RAS Public Relations Advisor Dragana Krunic pointed out that they are more than satisfied with the response of companies and potential investors for today's investment conference and that they hope for a quick realisation and concrete results from today's meetings.
She added that this is the first of the five planned investment conferences of Serbia at the Expo in Dubai and that it is planned that each subsequent conference be dedicated to a specific sector that is characterised by great potential for the realisation of new investments.
At today's investment event, in addition to the investment potentials of cities and spas, some of the proven successes of international investors in the field of real estate and trends in the real estate market of Serbia were presented.
