Europe through the eyes of our research experts in video
This past June, our Head of Research, Shane O'Neill, took to London for Knight Frank's annual European Commercial Research Conference. The programme covered Europe’s economic outlook, new research on infrastructure and market forecasting, the launch of internally developed Research tools, interactive workshops, and, inevitably, AI.

During the conference, our researchers toured 40 Leadenhall, a best-in-class office asset in the City of London, gaining valuable insight into the latest trends in workplace design and development.
Most importantly, the event provided an opportunity for researchers from across Europe to exchange insights, compare market trends and strengthen ties and collaboration across the network.
Research plays a critical role in helping clients navigate an increasingly complex and fast-changing market. While local expertise remains essential, some of the most valuable insights emerge when perspectives are shared across borders.
Filmed during this year's European Commercial Research Conference in London, this short video brings together researchers from across the European network to share what they're seeing on the ground in their markets and how those trends are shaping investment, occupier and development decisions.
From Spain's enduring appeal as a place to invest and live, to growing activity in Prague's office market, Munich's defence and technology sectors, and Berlin's position as a hub for venture capital, the video offers a snapshot of the opportunities and trends shaping real estate across Europe. Researchers from Paris, Brussels, Poland and beyond also share their perspectives, creating a unique cross-market view that is only possible through our connected research network.
As several contributors explain, in today's more volatile environment, informed decisions depend on robust, data-led insight. It's also a reminder of something that sits at the heart of our European research community: collaboration is our superpower.
