PropTech Connect Middle East 2026 To Be Hosted In Dubai, Showcasing Real Estate Tech

PropTech Connect Middle East 2026 will be hosted by the Dubai Land Department from 4 to 5 February 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Dubai, bringing a major global real estate technology conference to the region for the first time and positioning Dubai as a key international meeting point for digital property innovation.

The event is expected to attract more than 3,000 participants and over 1,500 companies worldwide, including owners, developers, operators, occupiers and brokers, along with proptech and artificial intelligence providers, venture capital investors and wider technology firms, with the organisers planning thousands of one-to-one meetings supported by interactive digital platforms.

Hosting PropTech Connect Middle East 2026 supports the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which targets a doubling of Dubai’s economy, greater global competitiveness and higher-quality investment flows, by placing digital innovation in real estate at the centre of growth plans and reinforcing Dubai’s role as a global business and digital economy hub.

The conference also aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, overseen by the Dubai Land Department, which aims to expand the use of enabling technologies, improve data centralisation, strengthen transparency and market efficiency, and deliver integrated customer experiences, helping double the sector’s added value and increase transaction volumes over the coming decade.

PropTech Connect is described by organisers as the world’s fastest-growing real estate technology conference, and the Middle East edition in Dubai will bring together more than 200 speakers from major real estate, investment and technology institutions across Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, sharing knowledge on digital transformation within property markets.

The programme will feature over 60 panel discussions spread across five main platforms, addressing residential, hospitality, commercial, industrial, development and asset management segments, alongside 50 case studies showcasing successful global projects and 25 workshops and closed-door sessions focusing on artificial intelligence, blockchain, data analytics and other tools that improve operational efficiency.
