Halfway through 2025 and the European real assets sector is returning to a position of strength for investment, despite the ongoing geopolitical headwinds.

Six months on from our 2025 Outlook episode where we saw promise for the sector at the start of a new economic cycle, there continues to be reasons for optimism. Core sectors in Europe are well balanced, with lower interest rates and significant fiscal stimulus packages on offer.

In this mid-year report, we hear how the digital, urban, energy and living transition megatrends - what PATRIZIA refers to as the DUEL megatrends - are shaping the future of real assets. We discuss the impact of economic uncertainty, brought on by US tariffs and ongoing trade wars. We discover where the opportunities might be from a sectoral and market perspective. And we explore why investment fundamentals, such as income growth, have become more positive for Europe.
