Canada: Real Estate Innovation with Global Relevance

As technology transforms how we buy, manage, and experience property, global buyers are looking for solutions with real-world impact—solutions that are scalable, practical, and designed for the challenges of today’s cities.

Increasingly, they are turning their attention to Canada — a country whose dynamic proptech ecosystem is producing solutions with global relevance.

Canada’s built environment shares much in common with the UK and Europe: major urban centres grappling with affordability, aging infrastructure, decarbonization targets, and the urgent need to deliver more homes, faster. These shared challenges have fuelled an innovation boom, making Canada one of the most active and promising proptech markets in the world.

Nowhere is that more evident than in residential real estate. According to Proptech Collective, 42% of Canadian proptech startups focus on the residential sector — one of the highest concentrations globally. From streamlining transactions and digitizing property management to AI-powered agent tools and smarter home solutions, Canada’s innovators are reimagining how people buy, sell, and live.

For buyers and partners in the UK, this presents a unique opportunity. Canadian proptech startups are known for their technical expertise, practical solutions, and focus on real-world challenges. Many are already operating in North America’s most complex urban markets, making their technologies readily transferable to similar environments across the UK and Europe.

What sets Canadian proptech apart is its integration of cleantech, fintech, and smart city solutions, reflecting the complex, interconnected nature of today’s-built environment. Whether it’s improving energy efficiency, optimizing tenant experiences, or unlocking data-driven insights, Canadian companies are building technology that works across sectors — and borders.

Canada is proud to sponsor Proptech Connect 2025 and bring a group of nine high-growth companies to London as part of the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) cohort. These companies span real estate technology, AI, property management, and digital tools — solutions designed for modern markets and ready for global partnerships.

With strong government support, active investors, and programs like the CTA, Canadian proptech is scaling fast. For global buyers, it’s a chance to discover innovation shaped by shared challenges — and solutions that can deliver impact from Toronto to London and beyond.

Canada’s ecosystem is anchored by the Proptech Collective, the country’s leading network of startups, investors, and real estate innovators — tracking over 530 active companies and driving collaboration nationwide.

As you explore Proptech Connect, meet Canada’s innovators. You’ll find real estate technology built for today’s cities — and ready for yours.
