About Business Immo

Created in 2003, Business Immo has very quickly established itself as the leader of the BtoB press in the French real estate industry, thanks to its 3 pillars of information :

  • • Print: with the titles "Business Immo", "in interiors", " études foncières", as well as special editions,
  • • Web: 3 websites dedicated to market news,
  • • Video : with BiTV, winner of La Presse au futur

In order to offer ever more exhaustive and precise information, Business Immo has set up a "Lab" in collaboration with i-read, providing access to exclusive studies and maps.

Supplemented by a strong events activity, offering more than 20 conferences per year and the organisation of the "Forum des métiers de l'immobilier et de la ville" or "Les Assises Nationales du Foncier et des Territoires", the Business Immo group has been able to diversify, while keeping information at the heart of its activity. Equipped with an integrated training organisation, the group provides more than 1,000 training sessions per year to professionals in the sector. Its strong links with all the key players of the sector and the numerous historical partnerships set up with professional organisations have positioned Business Immo as the media of reference.
