During the course of the MIPIM PropTech Summit, speakers will discuss key topics including: • An overview of PropTech: Leading international real estate and property technology investors discuss what’s what in property technology. • Government’s role in PropTech: Hear more about this burgeoning specialty from some of the leaders in government real estate, government affairs, and real estate technology. • The real estate industry’s next frontier: Learn about the most cutting-edge technologies in real estate that will shape the next generations of PropTech. • PropTech on a global level: How are regional new technologies going international as PropTech interest continues to grow? “We’ve been seeing strong interest in these themes globally,” said Filippo Rean, Head of Reed MIDEM’s Real Estate Division. “And with New York being the country’s epicenter of technological innovation, this day is shaping up to be one of the industry’s most exciting, diverse and thought-provoking events of the year.” A Unique Opportunity for Startups In addition to the gold-standard conference sessions, the MIPIM PropTech Summit will host the first ever North America stop in the Global Start¬up Competition Series.
The competition provides start¬ups with an opportunity to meet and pitch business to relevant investors, developers, financial companies, media, analysts and other key influencers.

We intend to significantly strengthen the presence of real estate technology at our MIPIM events, with the launch of the first-ever Innovation Forum at MIPIM UK, as well as an inaugural Hackathon, co-organised by Future Proptech,” explains Filippo Rean.
