NEPIX, the Northern European Property and Investment Exhibition, opened its doors from May 21st to 23rd in Copenhagen. Now in its third year, NEPIX has grown to become the leading event within the Northern European property industry. The show has enjoyed a steady growth in terms of exhibitor and delegate numbers, with this year’s show attracting around 2,300 delegates, an increase of over 30% from previous years’ events. As the annual meeting place in Northern Europe for the professional real estate business, NEPIX 2003 attracted decision-makers from many of the property industry’s leading global players, alongside numerous real estate publications and Northern European cities and regions. The show spotlighted end-users and investors, with an in-depth conference programme running throughout the 2-day event. Amongst the exhibitors at the event was MRI, the leading global provider of property and asset management systems. Martin Betts, Sales Manager at MRI explains why MRI decided to exhibit at NEPIX for the first time:

“MRI are continually expanding throughout mainland Europe, with clients now in 15 European countries. Having recently acquired a number of new clients from the Northern European sector, we felt that NEPIX gave us a valuable opportunity to develop our business in this region, as well as meet with our existing clients and contacts, a number of whom also exhibited at the show. We found that there is very little representation from the software industry at the event, despite the prominence of many leading investors and property players.”

With offices in both the UK and mainland Europe, MRI is able to offer clients local support and expertise. MRI’s range of property and asset management solutions has been enhanced to meet the differing requirements of individual European countries. Martin Betts concludes:

“The flexible nature of MRI’s products allows us to market our products within numerous different regions. This is why events such as NEPIX are so valuable to our business. As a result of this year’s show, MRI are now in detailed discussion with a number of leading Europe-wide property organisations.”
