Proptech Association Australia announces finalists in 2023 Proptech Awards

Proptech Association Australia is delighted to announce the finalists in the 2023 Proptech Awards, the only nationally coordinated awards for Australia’s booming property technology sector.

“We received 153 entries in total, a 23% increase on last year, and today we are announcing the finalists across 26 awards,” said Kylie Davis, Founder & President of Proptech Association Australia. “There will be 5 additional ‘best of the best’ winners revealed at our awards ceremony in Sydney on Wednesday, 19th July,” she said.

“It’s very exciting to celebrate the success stories of Australia’s proptech ecosystem and highlight the incredible innovation across the entire real estate value chain,” Ms Davis continued. “Building on the success of our previous national awards in 2021 and 2022, this year we added a new segment for proptechs at the cutting edge of data & analytics and an award to recognise corporate innovation.”

The entries were scored by a panel of more than 50 judges with expertise in property, finance, law, academia, sales & marketing, technology, sustainability, inclusion, innovation and venture capital.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who entered, the judges and our sponsors,” Ms Davis said.

The trophy winners will be announced at the gala awards dinner on Wednesday 19th July at The Fullerton Hotel in Sydney. Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.

The major sponsor of the Proptech Awards is Ashurst Lawyers. Other sponsors include Ezypay, Green2View, HID Global, Monoova, MRI Software, PropTrack and Upplft.

Ashurst Corporate Partner, and Head of the Venture Capital and High Growth Team, Stuart Dullard said: “Ashurst is incredibly proud to be the major sponsor of the Proptech Awards supporting the development of proptech in partnership with Proptech Association Australia.”

To facilitate scoring, the awards are organised around three categories to reflect different life stages - Established Suppliers, Scaleups and Startups – in the following industry segments:

Consumer Proptech
Data, Analytics, Insights & AI
Design, Build & Develop
Efficiency & Optimisation
Environment, Social & Sustainability
Ownership, Affordability & Finance
Property & Facilities Management, and
Sales & Marketing.

The panel of judges faced the difficult task of determining the short-listed finalists according to pre-set criteria as well as judging the open “Proptech Leader of the Year” and “Corporate Proptech of the Year” awards.

To be announced on the night, there will be a “Proptech of the Year” in each category picked from the individual award winners, plus overall “Best Residential” and “Best Commercial” proptech winners judged from the winners and top-ranking finalists across all segments. In addition to the scored awards, Proptech Association Australia will award a prize of one year’s free membership to 2023’s “Proptech to Watch.”
