Greg Polec

CEO

Proptech is a fast and dynamically growing industry that attracts more and more the attention of startups and investors around the world. We could say that it is revolutionizing the real estate market. Proptech offers innovative technological solutions that bring industries to a new and better level while increasing revenues.

Proptech is a fast and dynamically growing industry that attracts more and more the attention of startups and investors around the world. We could say that it is revolutionizing the real estate market. Proptech offers innovative technological solutions that bring industries to a new and better level while increasing revenues.

Proptech is a combination of real estate and technology. This is a relatively young concept that has recently gained a lot of interest around the world. The aim of the companies from the Proptech industry is to improve and modernize the processes of searching, buying and finding apartments. Using innovative technological solutions Proptech companies intend to increase customer satisfaction, offering extensive development opportunities.

I have to say that I was especially interested in the Proptech industry at the EU-Startups Summit in Barcelona in May. Some really fascinating startups from Europe participated in the conference and they had the opportunity to present their product. I have heard a lot of positive buzz about this industry. For example, I found out that many investors from the United States are looking for Proptech companies in Europe for investment purposes, due to perspectives of rapid development.

Since then, I have decided to get a broader knowledge of Proptech. Honestly, I am very impressed with the potential and opportunities that this industry has to offer. This is a relatively new market trend, so I am convinced that it will soon develop even more and we will all hear about the success of Proptech companies.

Meanwhile, take a look at really fascinating facts and statistics related to this sector. It should allow you to envision its potential.

I have just prepared for you a shortlist of Proptech companies from Europe, whose expansion is worth following.
