ABOUT THE PROPTECH CHALLENGE

The PropTech Challenge was born out of the inaugural REBNY Tech Hackathon, part of New York Real Estate Tech Week 2017.

The objective of the hackathon was to inspire cutting edge solutions solving real world challenges faced by today's leading real estate companies.

The Challenge leverages the wealth of technology talent in New York City and beyond, aiming to be the world's leading virtual real estate hackathon series. As we cultivate partnerships around the world, the series aims to drive innovation focusing on the needs of New York City's real estate market.
