SpaceInvader at MIPIM 2026 with Manchester Invest Partnership
This week, SpaceInvader’s John Williams is attending MIPIM 2026 alongside Manchester Invest Partnership, taking part in conversations around growth, development and the future of place.
As one of the most influential events in the global property calendar, MIPIM brings together leaders from across the built environment to explore how cities can evolve in response to changing economic, social and environmental needs. With Manchester continuing to strengthen its position as a leading UK city for investment and innovation, its presence at MIPIM reflects both confidence and ambition.
Manchester has built a strong reputation for regeneration, commercial development and forward-thinking urban growth. Its voice at MIPIM 2026 helps showcase the city’s long-term vision, highlighting opportunities for investment while reinforcing a commitment to creating places that are sustainable, connected and people-focused.
For SpaceInvader, being part of these conversations matters. Our work across workplace, hospitality, civic and community sectors is grounded in designing spaces that respond to how people live, work and interact. The future of place is not only about investment and development, but also about creating environments that deliver lasting value for the people who use them every day.
The discussions taking place this week reflect many of the ideas that shape our own approach to design. As expectations around the built environment continue to shift, there is growing importance in creating spaces that support wellbeing, encourage collaboration and contribute positively to communities. These principles are central to how we think about design and the role it plays in shaping better experiences.
It is encouraging to see Manchester represented so strongly in conversations that are helping define the future of cities and communities. The partnerships and perspectives shared at MIPIM 2026 will help influence the direction of future projects across the UK and beyond, and SpaceInvader is pleased to be part of that wider dialogue.
