WCS x NREP 2023

It’s our pleasure to announce an another main partner for 2023: NREP. We are excited to collaborate with NREP and together build long-lasting networks between talented students and professionals of the Nordic real estate industry. Read more about NREP as a company and their values below:

NREP is a private equity firm with real estate focus. NREP makes the built environment better by being the most active real estate investor and most innovative property developer on the market. We believe in long-term value creation, and we take a holistic approach when investing in, developing and operating our user-centric real estate solutions. Today, we are recognised as the leading real estate investor and innovator in the Nordics. We employ more than 500 people in 8 offices in Europe. Since our inception in 2005, NREP has pioneered sustainability in real estate, raised 13 funds and executed more than 300 property transactions and developments in the Nordic region. We have more than EUR 14 billion of assets under management and are trusted by some of the world’s largest institutional investors. 

"We have been successful in attracting and keeping female professionals in the company although both private equity and real estate industries have traditionally had shortage of female talent. Today, NREP’s gender balance is close to 50-50. We have also taken concrete actions to increase equality at the workplace. For example, we renewed our parental leave policy in Finland in the fall and have received a lot of positive feedback from our employees: we pay full salary for four months for all NREPers taking parental leave. By this voluntary practice we support combining work and family life and encourage both parents to enjoy valuable time at home."

– Heli Männistö, HR Partner

Our powerhouse of brilliant and caring people are raising the bar for our industry. By improving the design, construction, and use of urban real estate – with sustainability at the core – we are driving change to create real impact.

We hope you enjoy this partnership as much as we do!
