Dubai can be considered a global PropTech hub, where real estate is transformed through the use of AI, blockchain, IoT, VR, and new energy-efficient technologies.

Dubai is fast becoming a PropTech capital, with high levels of integration associated with the use of AI, blockchain, IoT and virtual reality in its real estate. As demands in luxurious life increase globally, PropTech is simplifying real estate sales by improving transparency and opening investment opportunities.

As supported by strategies like the Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033 and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, the city is pumping far and wide on PropTech. At least AED 1 billion has been dedicated to the funding of more than 200 startups, while the PropTech Connect 2026 is already the largest gathering on real estate technology in the region.

Tokenization efforts enabled by blockchain technology are turning traditionally paper-based property ownership into a fractional ownership model where anyone around the world can invest. In the meantime, the concept of smart homes with IoT, AI-driven valuation tools, and VR-driven digital models is revolutionizing buyer and investor interaction with the market.

The industry players such as Damac, SmartCrowd, and GreenBuild are breaking barriers in terms of sustainable property and fractional property ownership. This is inclined by the fact that PropTech startups in Dubai raised more than $150 million in 2024, as per PropTech Buzz, further underpinning the investor confidence in the industry.

Dubai, with a super-charged government backing alongside innovative start-ups and worldwide coverage, is becoming one of the leaders of PropTech industries and demonstrates a combination of all these features in property investment: luxury, environmental friendliness, and inclusivity.
