Agenda
Overview
The world is increasingly pushing towards sustainable and innovative real estate and bringing more efficiency into the contemporary real estate industry with the power of technology. With a US$3690 Billion market cap in the year 2022 and a CAGR of 9% has substantially altered the way we perceived real estate.
The new business dynamic post covid, changing consumer preferences, migration, a wave of new Proptech, and the traditional real estate industry certainly must think of new models to compete or adapt to cohabitate with new trends and dynamics to be profitable.
