About the Summit

As Europe faces critical challenges—including urbanization, sustainability, digital transformation, and economic resilience—this summit will provide a platform for thought leadership, collaboration, and actionable solutions. The RICS Built Environment European Summit 2025 is the premier gathering of industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators driving the future of the built environment.

Join us for an inspiring day of insightful workshops, inspiring keynotes, expert panel discussions, and networking opportunities that will shape the policies and strategies defining the next era of real estate, infrastructure, and sustainable urban development.

A Unique Location

Known as the "Pearl of the Danube," Budapest is a city of contrasts, where the majestic Danube River divides the historic, hilly Buda from the vibrant, flat Pest. Combining a rich cultural heritage with rapid modern development, Budapest is a leader in urban regeneration and innovation—making it the perfect destination for this year’s European summit.

An Exclusive Gala Dinner

The event itinerary begins with experiencing a private tour of what the House of Music has to offer and an exclusive evening gala dinner amidst a cultural and architectural marvel, the House of Music Hungary. Designed by Japanese star architect Sou Fujimoto, the venue has become a hub for art, culture, creation and innovation, the perfect backdrop for an evening of elevated networking and inspiration.
