Trade Mission London | PropTech Connect 2026
Are you a Dutch startup, scale-up or innovative SME with international ambitions in PropTech, the built environment or urban innovation?
Join the Trade Mission London – PropTech Connect, taking place on 9 and 10 September 2026 in London, United Kingdom. This trade mission is jointly organised by the Netherlands Embassy in London, InnovationQuarter, Amsterdam Trade & Invest, ROM Utrecht Region, Ynbusiness and Rotterdam Partners.
It connects Dutch companies to the British market, with participation in PropTech Connect as its centrepiece, one of the leading international conferences for innovation in the built environment.
Why the UK?
The UK is one of Europe’s most exciting markets for PropTech and urban innovation, and the window of opportunity is wide open. The British government is pushing hard to transform and future-proof its cities through large-scale redevelopments, significant investments in digital infrastructure and bold integrated area strategies. The recently introduced Planning and Infrastructure Bill is specifically designed to accelerate major projects and make room for the innovative solutions you are building.
The market is actively looking for what Dutch companies have to offer. Key priorities include:
- Integrated area development and mixed-use concepts
- AI, data and digital twins in urban design and asset management
- Smart mobility and connected infrastructure
- Digital platforms and smart building technology
- Sports infrastructure as a driver for urban and economic development — with landmark projects such as the redevelopment around Old Trafford setting the pace
Dutch companies enjoy a strong and established reputation in the UK for their innovative, integrated approach to the built environment. That means you enter the market with credibility, and this mission gives you the network, the matchmaking and the stage to turn that credibility into real business opportunities.
You can pre-register via the online registration form on the event page. You are not yet definitively signing up for the mission, the organisers will contact you at a later stage to discuss your interest and confirm participation.
