The Innovation Showcase

Two Flagship Events. One Unmissable Evening.

Following the success of our inaugural showcase in 2025 , the Innovation Showcase 2026 returns - as a flagship event for the UK PropTech Association and Real Estate: UK.

Positioned as a live PropTech Pitch Competition, the showcase spotlights some of the most exciting startups and scaleups transforming the built environment. Six selected companies will be invited to pitch their solutions live to an audience of senior industry decision-makers and an expert judging panel.

This is where innovation meets industry - and where the next generation of PropTech solutions gets seen.

Alongside this, for the fourth year running, the Summer Members Meet-Up returns - an exclusive evening of drinks, canapés, and high-impact networking with 160+ professionals from across the property sector.

Set against a relaxed summer backdrop, it’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with industry peers, build new relationships, and exchange ideas with leading voices across the built environment.
