Tech & Innovation Masterclass: Unlocking Growth

In October 2023, the UKPA and BPF merged to bring together the two networks across the sectors to aim for a more collaborative and innovation focused future for the Real Estate industry.

The merger brought together the BPF's membership of close to 400 property owners, investors, developers and advisors with the UKPA's community of over 1,000 entrepreneurs, solution providers, venture capital investors and PropTech innovators to help to drive deeper connections and now, in 2024, will be working together on a new joint venture: the Tech & Innovation Programme.

As part of the program, we present the Masterclass series—a collection of educational events designed to provide insights and knowledge about navigating digital transformation specifically tailored for Real Estate organisations. The purpose of the Masterclass series is to continue to identify barriers and aim to navigate digital transformation, understanding how to approach innovation within the Real Estate sector.

MASTERCLASS OVERVIEW 

The first event within our Masterclass series is an introduction to the Masterclass programme, showcasing our new content focused event at the industry exhibition: CREtech London, within the ‘CREtech Conversations’ event space.

The Masterclass is a 40 minutes session, followed by a 20 minute Office Hours Q&A, with a joint aim to focus on key strategic and digestible take-aways on: "Unlocking Growth: How To Craft ROI-Driven Business Cases for Tech Adoption”.

The Unlocking Growth Masterclass is a dynamic event tailored to provide strategies for developing business cases that demonstrate return on investment (ROI) for adopting technology within both traditional real estate organisations and PropTech companies, with actionable insights and strategies for crafting ROI-driven business cases for technology adoption. Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, attendees will gain valuable knowledge on leveraging technology to drive growth and innovation within the Real Estate sector.

About the event:

The Unlocking Growth Masterclass is a dynamic event tailored to provide strategies for developing business cases that demonstrate return on investment (ROI) for adopting technology within both traditional real estate organisations and PropTech companies, with actionable insights and strategies for crafting ROI-driven business cases for technology adoption. Through expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, attendees will gain valuable knowledge on leveraging technology to drive growth and innovation within the Real Estate sector.

The topic presents a significant challenge across the Property sector and, through the Masterclass, we aim to address the necessity for measurability and collaboration between Property and PropTech organisations to effectively deliver results.
Company processes and stakeholder mapping often complicates internal and external processes when delivering effective business cases; our Masterclass is designed to foster a learning environment where insights from both, within and beyond our industry, can provide actionable guidance. By leveraging the collective experience of our speakers, we seek to offer practical advice and facilitate knowledge sharing across our industry.
