Two members of the Remit Consulting team have been chosen as MIPIM Challengers for 2026, an international programme designed to bring emerging voices into the heart of global real estate debate.
Charlie Bolam and Henrietta King will join a cohort of 43 professionals under the age of 31 from across Europe who will take part in the full MIPIM programme in Cannes next March. This is the largest Challenger cohort to date, reflecting MIPIM’s focus on encouraging fresh thinking, diversity, and long-term leadership within the built environment.
The MIPIM Challengers programme provides participants with full access to the event, alongside dedicated networking, leadership development and thought leadership opportunities. Challengers contribute to conference roundtables, collaborate on a published insight paper with senior industry figures, and take part in a bespoke development programme that includes coaching and training on AI implementation.
The 2026 cohort represents a wide range of disciplines across the property sector, including investment, planning, development, advisory, construction, public sector and technology. Many of the selected Challengers are actively working with data-led approaches, ESG frameworks and emerging technologies to address complex issues around how cities are planned, occupied and managed.
Lorna Landells, Partner of Remit Consulting, said: “Henrietta and Charlie represent the way the property industry is evolving. They bring strong analytical thinking, curiosity and a clear understanding of how data and behaviour intersect with real estate decisions. The MIPIM Challengers programme recognises that future value in property will be shaped by people who can connect evidence, experience and long-term outcomes, and we are delighted to see them recognised in this way.”
Their selection reflects Remit Consulting’s continued investment in developing talent and supporting research-led perspectives, helping clients make better-informed decisions about real estate strategy.
