​Presented by Proptech Collective Vancouver

​The built environment is at a crossroads. We face urgent housing shortages, accelerating climate risks, and the reality that 80% of the buildings we'll ever inhabit already exist. Meanwhile, proptech companies are tackling these challenges with radically different approaches, from venture-backed AI platforms to bootstrapped employee-owned firms, from factory-built modular housing to iPhone-enabled building diagnostics.

​Join us for a candid conversation with three founders who are rethinking construction, insurance, and building operations from the ground up:
