Bust before Boom?

The proptech sector in Europe is undergoing a transformative phase, marked by difficult real estate development and investment markets. The number of new proptech startups is at a long-term low and venture capital is scarce. Slow adoption by traditional real estate players and a fragmented European market prevent rapid company scaling.

Nevertheless, the future of real estate technology in Europe looks promising, with innovative ideas and transformative products set to reshape the built environment for years to come. Digital solutions yield long-term cost savings and competitive leadership among early adopters. Proptech will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of buildings and the future of our cities.
