Being the Disruptor, Not the Disrupted: Innovators Shaping Real Estate

Technology is influencing the fundamental workings of the property industry, changing how businesses operate. Real estate companies have huge opportunities for data analysis to facilitate smarter, faster decisions and enrich assets by making them customizable and more attractive to consumers. Major shifts in working and living, brought about by cultural, demographic, and technological changes, require businesses to constantly adapt to—and get in front of—innovation. In the next few years, technology innovations and big data will bring opportunities and challenges to real estate, driving better and faster decisions. Thought leaders are embracing technology to support local authorities, architects, and developers as they take cities into the future. Synergy involving people, property, and technology is shaping the new world of work and the future of real estate.
