Proptech describes the wave of tech innovations set to disrupt real estate markets. It considers both the technological and mentality change of the real estate industry, and its consumers to our attitudes, movements and transactions involving both buildings (residential and commercial property) and cities.
Growing computational power and smaller sensors are deepening our ability to measure and analyze property. From smarter sensors inside a connected home, to virtual reality renditions of factories and offices while they are still in planning, novel proptech open many doors for innovative startups to penetrate the residential, commercial and care-home property markets.
