Cygnetise is taking part in AREF’s upcoming ‘Tech Innovation in Real Estate’ seminar on 17 May 2022
Cygnetise is taking part in AREF’s upcoming seminar, “The role of Climate Tech in delivering Real Estate's Net Zero”, on Tuesday, 17th May 2022 in London, along with fellow fintechs ClimateX and Hedgehog.
The buildings and construction sector accounts for 38% of global energy-related CO2 emissions – totalling about 13.5 GtCO2 in 2019. To keep global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels (in line with the Paris Agreement), all new buildings must operate at net-zero carbon from 2030 and 100% of buildings must operate at net-zero carbon by 2050, according to the World Green Building Council.
To explore how climate technology can bring Real Estate into the future ensuring these vital targets are met, the Association of Real Estate Funds (AREF) is organising a series of events throughout 2022 on technological innovation in Real Estate.
The first event of the series will take place on Tuesday, 17th May 2022 and include an interactive panel session with a line of up real estate tech-expert speakers including Abigail Dean of Nuveen; Ruairi Revell of Abrdn; Dr Dennis Schoenmaker of CBRE & Tom Selva of Smart Point.
Smart Point were winners of both World PropTech of the year at MIPIM and BuiltWorld Germany and are the world's first automated reception point, for everything, from any online purchase to hundreds of services from local providers. Prioritising local shops and zero-carbon deliveries has awarded Smart Point a place amongst the best 15 technologies against Climate Change voted by the EU, revolutionising thousands of smart buildings across the continent.
The session will also feature power pitches from fintech firms: Climate X, Cygnetise and Hedgehog.
Climate X helps organisations in their drive to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change by quantifying, at an asset level, the probability and severity of weather events decades before they happen.
Cygnetise helps organisations reduce the risk of contract disputes and signatory fraud, complement e-signature protocols and facilitate business continuity.
Hedgehog is enabled by blockchain technology and makes investments available to individual investors using tokenization.
