Bulgaria: PropTech & ConTech Mapping Report 2019

There is not a single cross-section view that can produce a classification in a given area. The same holds true for the PropTech.

Indeed, Bulgaria: PropTech & ConTech Mapping Report is not aimed at coming up with an elaborate analysis, rather it means to give the big picture view on the Bulgarian PropTech industry, alongside the major findings needed to answer the big question ‘Who is Who in the Zoo’.

It is for a purpose that the classification of companies within the sector factors in findings of critical value only. Our next report will set the focus at a premium on other layers.

The classification we made keeps pace with the construction life-cycle, accordingly, the real-estate life-cycle. Of preference, we classified PropTech & ConTech companies in Bulgaria within this spectrum; reason being, it helps to figure out which market niches have been intensely penetrated, and which remain free.
