Dubai to Host 21st IPS 2025 Show, Reinforcing Vision for Sustainable Real Estate Growth

The 21st edition of the International Property Show (IPS) 2025 is set to officially open its doors on Monday, April 14, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, bringing together key global stakeholders in the real estate industry. The event is being organized by the Dubai Land Department and aligns with the ambitious goals outlined in the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.

The IPS 2025 Show aims to further elevate Dubai’s position as a premier global hub for sustainable and innovative real estate investment. Majid Al Marri, CEO of the Real Estate Registration Sector at Dubai Land Department and Chairman of the IPS Organizing Committee, highlighted the strategic importance of the event.

“Dubai Land Department’s organization of IPS 2025 reflects its commitment to advancing the sustainability of the real estate sector and fostering integration across its diverse components,” Al Marri stated. “This exhibition serves as a unified platform that brings together key local and international players to promote innovation, smart solutions, and long-term competitiveness.”

The three-day event will host over 500 international delegates from countries such as the United States, India, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, and Panama. More than 300 exhibitors are expected to participate, with strong representation from the UAE and other global markets including Indonesia, Poland, China, Greece, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman.

IPS 2025 will be organized around five key thematic pillars: real estate, future cities, startups and proptech, design, and services. The exhibition will feature a packed agenda of activities designed to foster dialogue, innovation, and business partnerships.

Highlights of the event include industry-specific conferences, expert-led panel discussions, investment advisory sessions, and project showcases by leading global developers. Specialized areas such as country pavilions, an investor zone, and a startup and PropTech competition will provide tailored experiences for participants across all sectors of the real estate value chain.

Organizers also expect the signing of several memoranda of understanding (MoUs) during the show, further solidifying cross-border collaboration and investment. The inclusion of startup platforms and tech showcases signals Dubai’s growing emphasis on integrating proptech and digital transformation into its real estate strategy.

IPS 2025 is being positioned not only as a real estate exhibition but as a global platform for collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development in line with Dubai’s future-focused vision. The event continues to serve as a vital link between local developers and international investors, paving the way for the next phase of growth in Dubai’s dynamic property market.

Freight rates for supertankers have spiked following the US’s expanded sanctions targeting Russia’s oil industry, prompting traders to secure vessels for alternative supply routes to China and India. The sanctions aim to limit Russia’s revenue from oil exports amid its ongoing war in Ukraine. Chinese and Indian refiners are increasingly seeking non-Russian crude as the sanctions disrupt supply chains. Many of the affected tankers are part of a so-called shadow fleet, which transports Russian, Iranian, and Venezuelan oil while circumventing Western restrictions. Recent measures by the US, UK, and European Union have targeted 35% of the 669 shadow fleet vessels, according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence. The sanctions have particularly impacted tankers shipping Russian crude to China and India, which had previously benefited from discounted supplies following Europe’s ban on Russian oil. The restrictions also hit vessels involved in transporting oil from Iran, another sanctioned country. In response, Chinese state refiners, including Unipec—the trading arm of Sinopec—have booked multiple Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) to transport oil from alternative sources such as Europe and Africa. Among recent purchases are 2 million barrels of Norway’s Johan Sverdrup crude and smaller shipments from Senegal, Ghana, and Angola, traders reported. Anoop Singh, global head of shipping research at Oil Brokerage, said the shift to alternative crude supplies is driving the surge in freight rates. Since Friday, Unipec has booked at least eight tankers to ship oil from the Middle East, with other buyers such as PetroChina and Rongsheng also securing vessels for similar routes. Rates for the Middle East-to-China route (TD3C) climbed 39% since Friday to $37,800 per day, the highest level since October, according to shipbrokers. Meanwhile, freight costs for Aframax tankers shipping ESPO blend crude from Russia’s Kozmino port to northern China more than doubled to $3.5 million on Monday, reflecting heightened premiums amid limited vessel availability. Adding to the strain, some sanctioned tankers are stranded near China’s Shandong province after port authorities imposed a ban on their discharge, further tightening supply. Analysts at Vortexa estimate that over 85% of Russian crude voyages to Shandong involved newly sanctioned tankers. Kpler analysts predict continued market disruption as traders seek unsanctioned vessels for transporting Russian and Iranian crude, potentially pulling new ships into the shadow fleet and limiting availability in the non-sanctioned market. Middle East crude benchmarks have also rallied, with premiums for Dubai, Oman, and Murban crudes reaching year-long highs of around $4 per barrel. Freight rates for VLCCs on other major routes, including West Africa to China, have also climbed sharply, reflecting the market’s tightening.
