Insights from this Episode
 
-The momentum will build again. And I think there's a lot of opportunities in our industry – Imran Nasir
-I think that's what was unique about REIMtech, I would say, is we are really open to showcase our failures and also our tremendous successes- Naqash Tahir
-that's the real benefit I think that Proptech firms can do, is if they find the right business partner it's kind of a symbiotic relationship that both parties can really get benefits out of it- Imran Nasir
-. So if a company comes and solves the problem of integration with different systems, and also integration with different vendors, then I think they will be the ones to go for in the future – Naqash Tahir
-Collaboration is key from all sorts of angles, whether it’s start-ups, to associations, it’s the sharing of a set of information, the sharing of data, seems to be what everyone’s talking about the moment- Louisa Dickins
