Propel by MIPIM Startup Competition

The Propel by MIPIM Startup Competition, in partnership with global partner Union Investment and real estate tech partner MetaProp, reveals the most promising and innovative startups that tackle the biggest urban challenges around the world.

For the fifth consecutive year, selected startups will pitch their ideas and business models to move the real estate ecosystem forward during Propel by MIPIM events featuring three major international Proptech hubs – Paris, New York and Hong Kong.

The European stop of the competition was held during Propel by MIPIM – Paris 2020 at Le Centquatre. The most innovative start-ups presented their pitches in four categories: Sustainability, Data, Investment and User Experience.

The stop winners that will continue to the finals taking place during MIPIM at Cannes next June 2021, include Inviertis Properties in the Investment category, SpaceOS in the User Experience Category, CubiCasa in the Data Category, and ThermoTerra in the Sustainability category.

The NYC stop finals, backed by global partner Union Investment, took place during day two of the Propel by MIPIM – NYC Online event last December 2020.

The roll call of victors saw DrizzleX pick up the Sustainability prize; Equisafe win in the Investment category; Urban Ground GmbH win for User Experience; while StratoDem Analytics collected the Data award. These four winners now go forward to the grand finale at MIPIM in Cannes.

The MIPIM Asia Awards Forum hosted the Hong Kong stop of the Propel by MIPIM Startup Competition. The last seats for the finals taking place during MIPIM this June at Cannes were filled by Tower360, RealX, Urbanetic and Roots for the data, investment, sustainability and user experience categories respectively.
