PropTech – the technology that is transforming the real estate and development eco-system – is being prioritised by the upcoming Cityscape Global exhibition in Dubai and its content platforms with exhibitors saying the disruptive element is already impacting construction practices as the industry moves towards delivering intelligent buildings.

The Cityscape Global exhibition runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre from September 25 to 27 while the Cityscape Global Conference, runs on September 24 at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City, and will reflect PropTech’s high sector profile with its theme: ‘Adapting to Change: Charting a Course in an Era of Transformation.’

The Cityscape Global Conference is set to take on a futuristic stance with experts in design and build innovation and the acceleration of the smart city revolution taking to the stage.

This September sees Cityscape Global, the region’s largest real estate event, mark its 19th showing with its own transformational style; the show will debut an invitation-only day on September 25.

Other change initiatives being implemented include a pro-active approach to securing investor delegations from Europe, Asia and the US to source new avenues of growth in the UAE and region and a move into country-specific pavilions.

“We envisage pavilions dedicated to the UK, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Turkey, France, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Russia which will enable exhibitors to present their national real estate opportunities while investors will be able to compare the specifics of geographic offerings,” explained Chris Speller, Cityscape group director, Informa Markets, which organises Cityscape Global.
