JLL And HexGn To Give Impetus To PropTech Ecosystem In MENA
HexGn, in partnership with the Bahrain Economic Development Board(EDB) and the support of JLL, the worlds leading real estate advisory firm, is all set to bring the first-ever GCC PropTech Time
The PropTech segment in the MENA region has garnered a lot of steam and attention lately. With over $1 trillion in construction projects in pipeline, the region is poised for becoming a highly sought-after area for the segment in the coming years. It has all the elements for the making of a robust property technology ecosystem – demand, connectivity, infrastructure, and capital. The GCC PropTech Time Event will offer the opportunity to understand the PropTech segment at a deeper level and will feature delegates and speakers from such esteemed institutions.
Another factor that makes the event appealing to PropTech entrepreneurs and investors is the presence of leaders like real estate advisory firm JLL, with over a decade of experience in the MENA region, executing significant projects and partnering with regional industry leaders. The firm recently announced the international launch of JLL Spark — an exclusive business platform focused on developing PropTech solutions for the commercial real estate industry. JLL is well placed to define the Proptech landscape in the MENA region, and will share their insights on how it is changing the future of commercial real estate, at the event.
PropTech Time by HexGn is a digital Lab, focused on technologies dedicated to the real estate industry. Their mission is to be an active contributor for the digitization of real estate globally. The GCC PropTech Summit 2019 by HexGn has been designed with multiple purposes in mind: networking, learning and growing. Some of the key features of the event will be:
- Participation of real estate and PropTech experts from 20+ countries.
- An opportunity to take home insights from 20 international speakers and their experience. These leaders are from some of the top real estate names in the region and worldwide.
- The unveiling of the PropTech Time Survey conducted by HexGn globally, a unique event where real estate meets technology in the light of data insights generated by our global PropTech survey.
The knowledge-filled event will also serve as an excellent platform for meeting other like-minded entrepreneurs. Bahrain's unique position within the MENA region has always favoured the various tech segments within the Kingdom. The PropTech segment too can be expected to burgeon here in the coming years with help from the government and experts from both real estate and PropTech.
The GCC PropTech Time Summit by HexGn is an event that can boost the PropTech trajectory in the region. Entrepreneurs and investors wanting to be a part of it can register on www.proptechtime.com to gain access to this industry-defining event. The summit will be graced by industry experts from JLL – Nida Raza (Head of Capital Markets, MENA), Ben Jackson (Head of Project & Development Services, MENA), and Craig Plumb (Head of Research, MENA).
Why PropTech?
The $300 trillion global real estate industry is undergoing an exciting transformation with startups and technology at the helm of it. No industry is going to be left untouched when the fourth industrial revolution culminates in its final phase, and real estate is just beginning to see the effects of it. Automation within the real estate industry across the world has been the hot button topic for a while. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg, real estate’s journey to converge with PropTech fully will have a lot more than automation in the picture
