BerlinBeweger - Real estate and housing industry of the Berliner Zeitung November 13, 2018
"Conversations shed new light not only on the questions themselves, but also on the people who discuss them." Martin Andersen-Nexö (1869-1954), Danish. Writer.
On November 13, 2018, the exclusive discussion round "BerlinBeweger - Real Estate & Housing Industry" took place.
The BerlinForum is the direct route for industry-relevant topics of conversation. The special publication "Berlin Beweger", accompanying the top-class decision-making round, has successfully established itself as a constant and is already starting its 6th year. A lot of interesting topics were accompanied by numerous decision-makers in the city! Among the interlocutors was the managing director of the cds Wohnbau Group, Mr. Claus-Dieter Schmidt - a regular guest of the Berlin real estate round.
The Berliner Zeitung organizes the BerlinForum together with the editor-in-chief, the management of the Berliner Verlag and 15 other decision-makers from the business sector. Representatives of the relevant senate administrations are regularly welcome guests in the rounds.
