Big news—Unlockit was invited to a startup competition in Dubai! Not only were we among the 25 shortlisted companies, but we also made it to the top 10 selected to pitch in person at the STEP Conference Dubai 2025..

This was part of the Real Estate Evolution Space Initiative (REES) by the Dubai Land Department, bringing together some of the brightest minds in real estate tech. It was an incredible opportunity to showcase what we’re building, connect with industry leaders, and get inspired by the latest trends shaping the future of real estate.

What went down in Dubai
Dubai is on a mission to become the global hub for real estate innovation, and REES is leading the charge. This event brought together over 200 industry experts, startups, and investors to discuss how tech is reshaping real estate.

Unlockit was one of just 10 companies worldwide selected to pitch in person, giving us a platform to share our vision for a faster, more transparent, and more secure real estate market.

Key Takeaways

1. PropTech is booming – The real estate industry is hungry for new solutions, and the demand for digital transactions, automation, and transparency is bigger than ever.

2. Connections are everything – Meeting top players in the industry, from investors to regulators, is a game-changer. These relationships will shape how we grow and expand.

3. Dubai is setting the pace – With initiatives like REES, it’s clear that Dubai wants to lead the future of real estate innovation. And we’re excited to be part of that movement!

4. Tokenization is the future – In a world buzzing about AI, HLPS’s win at the competition underscores a crucial truth: tokenization is the key to unlocking the future of real estate. Dubai, a global leader in innovation, clearly recognizes this, and their commitment to tokenized assets will shape the industry worldwide for decades to come.

What’s next?

This is an incredibly exciting time for those pioneering the tokenization of real estate. Unlockit is all about making real estate transactions smarter, faster, and more secure—and we’re just getting started.
