The future of the property sector and the role of technology are high on the agenda at Expo Real this year, with a focus on how the industry can embrace innovation in the digital age.
This year, a new hall – NOVA3 – has been devoted to the theme of innovation, and will host the Expo Real Innovation Forum, together with the Tech Alley and Start-up Contest area.
The impact of technology can be felt across the trade fair, from smart city development to investment and finance and there are dozens of debates and panel sessions with a tech theme.
Building modular homes, using AI in construction and data-based location decisions are among the subjects on the table in the NOVA3 Forum on Monday, while Greg Clark will moderate a string of sessions about how metropolitan areas can make the most of their waterfronts as part of the Waterfront Summit.
If you are looking for the best places to put your money, Germany, the US and Canada are up for discussion in the Investment Locations Forum on Monday. Healthcare comes under
scrutiny at the Planning and Partnerships Forum while the Hospitality Industry Dialogue will look at the impact of technology on service, particularly in hotels.
