We at Catalyst expect to see accelerated demand for technology in real estate, driven by market forces, the ongoing degradation of information silos, and the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Heightened interest rates and an uncertain market environment have hampered activity across the broader real estate sector, resulting in stakeholders cutting costs and shifting focus towards efficiency and strategies to stay ahead of competition. Once the market recovers from the slowdown of the past few years, there will be a race to capture growth and stakeholders at the forefront of technology adoption will have an advantage over laggards. We believe the real estate industry is at an inflection point and we are excited to stay active in the space.

In this piece, we further explore why now is the time to invest in PropTech and the key trends driving innovation and investment across the real estate value chain.
