The UK PropTech Awards is back; bigger and better than ever!
In its seventh year, the UK PropTech Awards is an event dedicated to celebrating those who are leading the way towards a more sustainable, digitally enabled and customer centric future for the Property industry. The awards are a chance to highlight the companies and individuals who are driving real change across the Real Estate sector, solving critical problems and showcase how their innovative approaches or technology solutions are making a significant impact.
This year, we are excited to present a range of new awards for both PropTech companies and Property organisations, such as “Innovation Team of the Year”, “Data Utilisation and Enrichment” and “ESG Collaboration of the Year Award“. With an aim to promote and recognise collaboration in the industry, we have introduced new joint awards such as “Digitally Enabled Spaces” and “Data Excellence” encouraging joint applications from PropTech and Property organisations.
Partners
We are pleased to announce UKGBC and Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) are joining us as partners for this year’s UK PropTech Awards!
Their involvement represents a significant step forward in expanding the event’s reach and impact, allowing us to engage a broader and more diverse audience from both the property and sustainability sectors.
As leaders in promoting sustainable building practices and shaping housing policy, UKGBC and MHCLG bring valuable expertise and influence to the table. With their support, we can amplify the conversation around innovation in PropTech, foster cross-sector collaboration, and elevate industry standards. This partnership also allows us to tap into their extensive networks, ensuring that more industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders are involved, further increasing the visibility and impact of the awards.
Their support not only strengthens our event but also underscores the growing importance of PropTech in shaping the future of the built environment. Together, we look forward to driving forward-thinking solutions that benefit the entire property industry.
