Propel by MIPIM New York (formerly MIPIM Proptech) will again host a two-day Global Real Estate and Tech Conference & Expo on November 9th and 10th at the Javits Center River Pavilion in Manhattan, as part of NYC Real Estate Tech Week during the week of November 7th. The 6th edition of Propel New York will be organized by MIPIM – the world’s leading property market leading platform which attracted over 20,000 real estate leaders from 80 countries last March in Cannes, France – in partnership with the world’s leading venture capital firm focused on the PropTech industry, MetaProp.
ESG and Climate Driving Today’s Agenda
Real estate professionals know the importance of understanding, transforming and implementing a more environmentally sustainable future model. Real Estate releases 40% of the carbon emissions into the world’s atmosphere. We must reinvent the different asset types (office, retail and residential) as we face these new constraints while balancing good business efficiency.
Innovating technology provides an opportunity for real estate experts by providing concrete solutions to solve the issues involved in transforming into more sustainable structures. Real estate companies understand the importance of transforming digitally to meet the global needs of sustainability. It will take everyone working together; the real estate professional, technology companies, investors and governmental agencies who are setting the guidelines, to be successful in creating and following a more environmentally sustainable model.
Propel New York will facilitate concrete solutions coming from different perspectives on this important subject of building an environmentally sustainable future business model.
The conference will focus on these 3 pillars of the sustainability:
- Better Places (user experience): Improving the attractiveness of assets, workplaces and territories
- Greater Impact (ESG / Decarbonization): Improving Sustainability of Real Estate Assets
- Stronger Business: Improving Real Estate Efficiency (facilities management, transactions, marketing and more)
The two-day conference, Propel by MIPIM New York, will feature leading innovation topics, real estate leaders, tech innovators and industry disruptors including the following confirmed speakers to date:
