This year the adoption of PropTech has become an absolute priority for the real estate sector. 2022 promises to be even better given the imminent impact of the EU Green Deal on real estate and Next Generation EU. (Idriss Goossens, Co-Founder of the European PropTech Association).

The PropTech Start-Up & Scale-Up Europe Awards is a competition aimed at identifying the most promising PropTech companies of Europe. The awards are
supported and promoted by the European Commission & FINNOVA (EU), supported by the President of the European Parliament, the President of the European Committee of the Regions, the Vice-President of the Economic and Social Committee, and the 24 PropTech National Associations of Europe. (Dirk Paelinck, Chairman European PropTech Association).

This 4th edition of the PropTech Start-Up & Scale-Up Europe Awards is expected to have a tremendous impact because of the unique transformation context of the real estate value chain caused by COVID-19. More than 400 applications had been submitted in January 2021 and the 2022 edition is expected to outnumber that result.

Encouraging sense of community

Surveys made by the European PropTech Association on growth barriers show that the majority of start-ups and scale-ups see legal barriers, a fragmented market and funding as their main concerns. In this regard and in these challenging times, the PropTech Start-Up & Scale-Up Europe Awards competition has become an additional and valuable source of aid.
The PropTech Start-Up & Scale-Up Europe Awards competition is a powerful tool designed to help startups get visibility and support. The competition has 5 main subcategories: Invest, Market, Design & Build, Manage & Operate, Live & Work.

All European startups and scale-ups have until February 28th 2022 to submit their applications.
The semi finals will take place on the 27 and 28 June 2022 in Brussels in front of a live jury.
The finals will be organised in September 2022.

For the PropTech startup or scale-up, the PropTech Start-Up & Scale-Up Europe Awards are a unique opportunity to get tremendous pan-European recognition.
For the Jury Member, the competition is an efficient market intelligence tool to source technology, and identify the potential future Unicorns.
