Our mission
We are DREA – Digital Real Estate Association.
Our mission is to drive digitalization in the real estate industry and create a strong network that fosters innovation and collaboration. What once started as the Austrian PropTech Initiative (apti) has evolved into a comprehensive ecosystem that brings together startups, established companies, SMEs, decision-makers and politics.
We are convinced that the future of the real estate industry is digital. With our formats, partnerships and initiatives, we support solutions that will change the industry’s entire value chain in the long term. Our aim is to connect industry players, promote innovative technologies and create the framework conditions for a successful digital transformation.
At DREA , innovation, exchange and collaboration are at the heart of our work – for a sustainable, digitalized real estate industry.
