In October 2023, the UKPA and BPF merged to bring together the two networks across the sectors to aim for a more collaborative and innovation focused future for the Real Estate industry.

The merger brought together the BPF's membership of close to 400 property owners, investors, developers and advisors with the UKPA's community of over 1,000 entrepreneurs, solution providers, venture capital investors and PropTech innovators to help to drive deeper connections and now, in 2024, will be working together on a new joint venture: the Tech & Innovation Programme.

As part of the program, we present the Techfast series — a collection of breakfast events designed to raise awareness about the digital landscape within Real Estate. These gatherings serve as collaborative platforms where industry stakeholders come together with a shared goal, addressing key topics within the sector and confronting current challenges within these focus areas head-on, fostering a collaboration between PropTechs and Property organisations, to discover impactful solutions.

As such, we are welcoming Gold Members to join us forour first Techfast event of the year which will be focused on sustainability and will be looking at: Building a Greener Future: Leveraging Data and Technology for Carbon Reduction in the Built Environment.

The event will be set up as a roundtable discussion which aims to bring together diverse perspectives in sustainability across both the PropTech and Property space. The conversation will cover how data and tech solutions are being utilised to optimise energy efficiency of buildings and assess what's needed in terms of retrofitting.

In addition, we will explore the viability of retrofit solutions (cost implications) and the certainty/uncertainty of new technologies that are being proposed.

This event is invitation only. Please contact info@ukproptech.com if you would like to inquire about the event.
