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.
