Chiara Tagliaro investigates digitalization and new ways of working and their impacts on people and the built environment. Her cross Atlantic experiences allowed her to increase the awareness and impact of her research in both real estate theory and practice. She works as a post-doc researcher at Politecnico di Milano within the Real Estate Center, where she is currently responsible for a few research and consultancy activities, including the coordination of the Italian PropTech Network. She aims at developing new strategies and innovative technologies to drive workers, organizations, and cities toward a more sustainable future. Chiara will share the results of the Italian PropTech Monitor, a study that the Italian PropTech Network – IPN (within the Real Estate Center of Politecnico di Milano) conducts yearly since 2018 to keep track of the PropTech expansion in the country and abroad. The Monitor shows how PropTech is gaining momentum in Italy, even if with some delay compared to other European counterparts. At the same time, the Monitor demonstrates some of the strengths and weaknesses of the PropTech national ecosystem. The activities and events organized by the IPN aim at addressing the most urgent issues that are slowing down the PropTech development. However, a lot of work still needs be done, especially to internationalize the local real estate investments and operations.
