At a gala dinner in Sydney on Wednesday evening, Proptech Association Australia announced the winners of the second annual Proptech Awards.

Over 300 people joined the sold-out event at Dockside Cockle Bay to congratulate the winners of 19 category trophies, 3 best of the best awards, 3 special prizes, and the Proptech Leader of the Year accolade. Additionally, 50 people watched the event live via video connection.

“We are ecstatic to be celebrating with so many people this evening! Our annual awards are the culmination of a massive team effort involving our Board, our members, foundation supporters, event sponsors and of course all the entrants and judges. We are particularly grateful for the support of our major sponsor Ashurst,” said Kylie Davis, Founder & President of Proptech Association Australia.

In her opening remarks, Ms Davis said, “We’re entering a golden age of proptech with both internal and external forces culminating to accelerate adoption and investment in the sector. These forces include the efficiency benefits of proptech to save time and money, plus new trends such as empowering buyers and renters to choose the most liveable home, using data and AI to manage risk, and generating new value from traditional assets.”

Ashurst Corporate Partner, and Head of the Venture Capital and High Growth team, Stuart Dullard said, “Ashurst is delighted once again to be the major sponsor of the national Proptech Awards and to support the development of proptech in Australia through our partnership with the Proptech Association. Congratulations to all the winners!”

The Proptech Awards are organised across three main categories – Start-Ups, Scale-Ups and Established Suppliers – within which there are individual awards for different business solutions. This means that proptech ventures are judged against their peers in terms of company size and maturity by a panel of expert judges. The evening was co-hosted by Jennifer Harrison, Vice President of Proptech Association Australia, and Peter Schravemade, Managing Partner of REACH Australia.
