Our mission is to support a sustainable European PropTech market and to create a positive impact on the European living environment and beyond.
Our objectives: to scale up cross-border collaborations, to standardise the European PropTech markets, to create a legal framework adapted to PropTech, to foster innovation in Real Estate and to facilitate access to funding.
The first realization of the EU PropTech House, in 2019, was the participation in the organization by Workero and Finnova of the PropTech StartUp Europe Awards for the European Commission. This was the first European initiative to give visibility and support to the most promising startups in innovation in real estate. With over 350 candidates last year, the PropTech Europe Awards are growing into 2 distinct categories: Startups and Scale-ups and becoming PropTech Startup and Scale-up awards.
The PropTech Startup & Scale-up Europe Awards is a brand new category within the European Awards' framework (22 categories), promoted by the European Commission in collaboration with Finnova Foundation, which presents a prize methodology for startups, scale-ups at local, regional and national level, fostering the open innovation and the collaboration between the different actors of the European ecosystems, through the private-public partnership supporting new entrepreneurs.
The second edition (2020) of the PropTech Startup & Scale-up Europe Awards is clearly a sign of recognition by the European Commission of the importance and the huge potential of the innovative PropTech industry reshaping traditional real estate.
Submissions are now open.
Our mission is harmonize the fragmented European PropTech market, to strengthen the European PropTech economy and to help European institutions creating a legal framework adapted to new technologies of PropTech and a legal framework which fosters innovations in Real Estate. We are here to help startups & scale-ups to export in new European markets. Together with Workero, Finnova and all the National PropTech Initiatives, we aim to structure the consolidation of the European PropTech Economy.
