Unlocking the potential of PropTech
Warwick Business School Teaching Centre, University of Warwick campus, Coventry
The property industry is experiencing a moment of significant change. PropTech has the potential to transform the industry, inspiring innovation and new ways of thinking about property development, management, and transactions. But there are also significant barriers that potentially prevent businesses from grasping the full potential of technological change. This event brings together businesses, policymakers and researchers to discuss what we know about the PropTech revolution, and how we can unlock its potential in the UK and in the West Midlands.
