The fair, in its twenty-second edition, brought together public managers, institutional representatives, and sector professionals to discuss land management, public housing promotion, financing, industrialized construction, and the rehabilitation and regeneration of the residential stock. The IV International Meeting on Protected, Social, Affordable Housing and Public-Private Collaboration was a key highlight, with the collaboration of the Municipal Housing Institute of Málaga City Council, the Association of Public Housing and Land Managers (AVS), and the European Federation of Public, Cooperative and Social Housing (Housing Europe).
The Living in Evolution Forum explored new ways of living and models of marketing and investment, while Simed Innova delved into the application of artificial intelligence in the sector, including license processing, project feasibility, and investment risk analysis. European financing for the decarbonization of construction was also discussed.
Within Simed Innova, the five finalist proposals from the V Open Call for Startups were presented. The project Normatia, an artificial intelligence tool for consulting and verifying urban planning and technical regulations, was recognized as the winner.
The institutional closing ceremony was attended by the Mayor of Málaga, Francisco de la Torre; the Minister of Housing, Youth, and Territorial Planning of the Junta de Andalucía, Rocío Díaz; the president of FADECO Promotores, Ignacio Peinado; and the president of AVS, José María Escolástico.
