In March 2012 at Cannes, a general introduction to Lyon real estate entitled "Lyon: More Than Ever a Blue-Chip Investment" was presented at MIPIM, the business real estate show (French version with English subtitles). MIPIM is a key annual show for leaders in business real estate and provides Lyon with an opportunity to discuss the major projects for its territory. MIPIM 2012 was an outstanding success with 19,400 visitors (+4.2 % compared to 2011), 82 participating countries and over 4,200 investors. Once again this year, Lyon stood out for its strong presence, based on over 200 m2 of exhibition area and four innovative mockups to highlight the four major urban projects in the territory (Part-Dieu, Confluence, Gerland and Carré de Soie). The four days gave rise to over a hundred meetings with project leaders and key investors and were marked by several outstanding events on the stand, impressive media coverage and over 85 articles in the international press. The participating partners under the banner of ONLYLYON conveyed territorial values, even more so than the thousands of square meters of real estate projects.
