International Forum "Property Transaction in the Digital Age"
30.09.2010 - 01.10.2010 – Inhaus, Forsthausweg 1, Duisburg
Conveyance and mortgaging of property are increasingly important and complex economic factors. It is a kernel task of the state to protect the owners' rights and to install a framework of transparent legal proceedings in the today’s digital age.
In this context, digitalisation is of considerable interest. Above all the trading of property can be accelerated through digital services and thus made more cost-efficient, as well as leading to completely new business models.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, three ministries (Interior, Justice, and Economics), civil law notaries and a municipal cadastre office have joined forces in the digitalisation of the entire property transaction process. This process is almost complete. The system is secure and economical thanks to multiplication by the private sector in the shape of banks, solicitors and publicly appointed surveyors.
Nevertheless, all parties involved in the process still face a number of questions. The international symposium “Property Transaction in the Digital Age” organised by the ZENIT network (Netzwerk ZENIT e.V.) offers an opportunity to tackle such questions and to discuss the options for international co-operations. Currently many countries eagerly await high-performance systems. The conference discloses what is needed in order for a solution to be not only secure, but also economically feasible.
The symposium is co-funded by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the EU.
Full participation fee: 250 Euro - registration for first day only (30 September) is possible.
