Proptech NEXT Webinar
Overcoming the challenges of technology deployment in commercial real estate
Investing in tech is a no-brainer for the property sector – so why isn’t it happening faster?
PropTechs’ promise to revolutionise the built world, however, the speed of technology uptake across the real estate industry has been relatively slow. So what’s causing this?
In this series of candid conversations with industry heavyweights, we find out what some of the hurdles are, and steps that can be taken to better identify and accelerate the adoption of technology. We examined what it takes for a PropTech start-up to be successful, what lessons the industry can learn from other industries and some of the unique challenges faced by CRE companies looking to deploy technology across their portfolios.
This webinar took place on 15 September – 9:30 am to 11.30 am AEST.
This webinar supports Proptech NEXT Summit 2021, a large event that will bring together hundreds of senior real estate leaders, VCs, Investors and technology companies from Asia-Pacific and the world to connect, learn, identify opportunities and find partners.
