Real Estate Networking with Impact

May. 2026

What happens when people from the real estate industry come together to talk not only about returns, but also about social responsibility? This very question was at the heart of the second edition of “Real Estate Networking with Impact,” hosted by PB3C and Drooms as part of the PATRIZIA Foundation Impact Circle event series at the Drooms Winebar in Frankfurt.

The evening focused on open exchange and the question of how the real estate industry can integrate social responsibility and social impact more strongly into its strategies. In a panel discussion, Astrid Gabler, Chairwoman of the PATRIZIA Foundation, and Burkhard Dallosch from the Institute for Corporate Governance discussed the importance of the “S” in ESG as well as sustainable governance in the real estate sector.

In addition to engaging conversations, the event provided an opportunity to reconnect with existing partners and members of the Impact Circle, while also building new connections within the industry.

A special thank you goes to the hosts, Sonja Rösch (PB3C) and Pia Goosens (Drooms), for the excellent organization and the unique atmosphere of the event.

A Musical Programme with Lasting Impact

Young musicians from the MiSST programme welcomed guest with an opening performance. Throughout the evening, the students further captivated guests with their performances, including Adoration by Florence Price and selected pieces from The Phantom of the Opera.  

 

 

An Evening of Shared Vision and Personal Stories

In his welcoming speech, Wolfgang Egger talked about the importance of investing in young people and creating opportunities that allow them to thrive — academically, personally and socially. Ambassador Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber delivered a passionate speech on the importance of protecting arts education in the UK, particularly at a time when music and creative subjects continue to face significant cuts within the school system. He spoke movingly about the responsibility to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to creativity, culture and music education.

Chairwoman of the Board Astrid Gabler, together with Board Member James Muir, reflected on their recent visit to one of the programme’s partner schools. James shared how deeply a passionate music teacher had influenced him during his own school years and how this experience continues to shape his belief in the importance of the support in education infrastructure. 

Rachel Landon, CEO MiSST, brought the programme vividly to life through inspiring footage and powerful stories from participating students, offering guests a meaningful glimpse into the daily impact of the initiative.

One of the most moving moments of the evening came from Rain Spiegel-Johnson, a former participant of the programme, who shared her personal journey. She spoke openly about how access to music education has shaped her confidence, supported her personal development, and positively influenced her life path.

In partnership with MiSST, the programme supports schools in Morecambe and Manchester by providing classical musical instruments, professional music tuition and regular performance opportunities. Over the course of three years, the PATRIZIA Foundation is funding 300 instruments, creating long-term access to cultural education and helping young people build brighter futures through the transformative power of music.
