The 21st edition of the International Property Show (IPS 2025) opened today at the Dubai World Trade Centre, drawing over 300 exhibitors from 85 countries and anticipating more than 25,000 visitors.
Running until April 16, the event underscores Dubai’s rising prominence as a global real estate hub.
Inaugurated by Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), IPS 2025 serves as a vital platform connecting developers, investors, and industry leaders to explore new projects, smart technologies, and emerging market trends.
This year’s edition aligns with the launch of the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, aimed at strengthening the city’s position as a global capital for real estate. The strategy focuses on transparency, innovation, and sustainability—core pillars of Dubai’s long-term growth vision.
Bin Ghalita highlighted the event’s role in building global investor confidence and reinforcing market balance. He also pointed to the DLD’s showcase of strategic initiatives, including “Real Estate i” for international promotion, “She Pioneers” to empower women in real estate, and the blockchain-based “Real Estate Tokenisation Project.”
Day one featured high-level panel discussions and the Institutional Investors Conference, where global experts exchanged insights on creating a resilient and future-ready real estate landscape.
On April 16, the spotlight will shift to women’s empowerment through the “IPS Women 2025” conference, held in collaboration with the Women’s Council of Realtors, underscoring Dubai’s commitment to inclusive growth and innovation in the property sector.
IPS 2025 reflects not just Dubai’s real estate ambitions—but its growing stature as a model for global urban development.
