By convening stakeholders under one roof, the event aims to foster collaboration between public and private sectors while accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies across property development, management, and investment.
The two-day conference is expected to feature keynote sessions, panel discussions, and strategic networking opportunities focused on the future of real estate, digital governance, smart cities, and the role of technology in enhancing investor confidence and market resilience. It will also provide a platform for PropTech startups and scale-ups to present solutions tailored to regional and global challenges.
With PropTech Connect Middle East 2026, Dubai reinforces its reputation not only as a global real estate destination but also as a laboratory for innovation—where regulation, technology, and ambition converge. As the sector continues to evolve, the event is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping how real estate across the Middle East embraces the next generation of digital transformation.
