About this expo
SIMA, held annually in Madrid, serves as a pivotal international platform for investment within the residential and flex living sectors, establishing itself as the Global Hub of Living. The event aims to centralize international real estate investment and development flows in Madrid, fostering an environment dedicated to the growth of the residential market and affordable housing. It strategically links supply, capital, and demand to stimulate progress across the living sector.
The exhibition features four distinct yet complementary areas: SIMA EXPO, SIMA INVEST, SIMAPRO, and SIMA TECH. SIMA EXPO provides a platform for new-build and resale homes, showcasing residential projects for primary residences, holiday properties, and investment opportunities. SIMA INVEST functions as the Private Investor Hall, focusing on real estate assets and related services for investors. Additionally, a dedicated Flex Living Space highlights new housing models such as co-living, senior living, student housing, and flexible rental solutions. Exhibitors gain direct access to clients and capital, enhance visibility, generate qualified leads, and strengthen their market position.
SIMA attracts a diverse audience including developers, landowners, financial institutions, proptech companies, and investors. Professional profiles range from senior management and financial experts to commercial and marketing professionals across sectors like real estate development, construction, financing, and asset management. The event also hosts concurrent programs such as the International Living Conference, the ASPRIMA-SIMA AWARDS 2026, and the REAL ESTATE INNOVATION FORUM, providing additional networking and learning opportunities.
