Caffe Roma was busy but where were the deals?

摘要

When I made my prediction for this year's Mipim I was actually half right. I said numbers would be up despite everyone saying they wouldn't be going. Well, they were down but venues were still surprisingly busy at times. The alcoholic bellwether, Caffe Roma, was as busy as ever at times.rnHowever, there was a lack of developers, a shortage of funders, a dearth of actual clients and a complete absence of deals.rnRDAs and local authorities were putting a brave face on it and even cooperating with each other, while Homes and Communities Agency chief executive Sir Bob Kerslake was attempting a world record number of Mipim speaking engagements in one day.
