MIPIM 2025 - How PropTech Can Attract and Unlock UK Real Estate’s Investment Potential

With global competition for real estate investment increasing, the UK has a unique opportunity to lead. The Opportunity for PropTech Report, published by UK PropTech Association and PUBLIC and commissioned by the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government, highlights how technology is transforming planning, development, and investment—reducing risk, increasing efficiency, and making the UK a more attractive destination for capital. 

This panel will explore: 

• Why the UK is well-positioned to realise PropTech’s potential – with a strong financial sector, world-leading AI and data capabilities, and a growing PropTech ecosystem. 

• How PropTech is unlocking development and investment – by streamlining planning, improving market intelligence, and reducing friction in transactions. 

• Where investment opportunities are emerging – as AI, life sciences, and data centres drive new real estate demand. 

• What’s needed to fully capitalise on PropTech’s potential – including investment, regulatory support, and greater adoption across the sector. 

Bringing together investors, developers, and policymakers, this discussion will highlight why now is the time to invest in UK real estate and how PropTech can maximise returns while shaping the future of the built environment.
