National awards dedicated to the Australia’s Proptech sector.
The innovators driving change across Australia’s real estate, property and construction sector now have their own awards.
The second Proptech Awards offer 24 awards across three main categories - Start-Ups, Scale-Ups and Established Suppliers. This means you’ll be judged against your peers in terms of company size and maturity by our panel of expert judges from across the real estate, property and construction industry. Inside each category are seven awards designed to cover off innovation across the gamut of proptech functionality.
An additional four awards are designed to recognise key trends and specialisation emerging across the sector.
If you have a pitch deck or product presentation, you’ll find it straightforward to answer key questions that will put you in the running to win.
A gala dinner to announce the winners will be held in Sydney on Wednesday June 8. Entries to the awards close on Sunday March 27 at 11:59pm.

Ie: If you are an established supplier with a new product, then you would still be judged in the established supplier category (NOT start-up)
