“Yesterday books, today clothes, tomorrow commercial real estate financing. Electronic marketplaces are unbeatably efficient” is the lecture topic of Dr. Ralf Kauther, CEO of credX AG, at the third Financing Symposium in Frankfurt am Main.
Under the title “Negative Interest Rates & Sustainability – Real Estate Investments in Search of the Royal Road,” this year’s symposium is dedicated to the question of the extent to which low interest rates lead to misallocations in real estate and give investors incentives to take greater risks. In addition to risk, the actors also perceive the sustainability of the projects to be financed differently.
In his presentation, Ralf will discuss how the complex inquiry and negotiation processes can be digitally supported very efficiently, even in the case of project financing. This already has great benefits for both borrowers and lenders today. With increasing network effects, the use of platforms will bring even more efficiency and, in a few years, will be used as naturally as we order books over the Internet today.
Other speakers include Dr. Fabian Lander (Volkswagen Immobilien), Dr. Gerhard Schick (Member of the German Bundestag and founder of Finanzwende e.V.), Christina Schmidt (Triodos Bank) and Prof. Volker Wieland (Goethe University Frankfurt).
