Business and Economics Technology By Editor_wr On Apr 7, 2025
PlanRadar, a leading digital platform for documentation, communication, and reporting in construction, facility management, and real estate projects, is set to participate in IPS Congress 2025, taking place from April 14-16, 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre. As the property sector embraces digital transformation, PlanRadar will take part in the high-profile panel discussion 'PropTech Innovation Showcase: From Manpower to Tech-Power – How Modern Property Management is Transitioning from Labor-Intensive to Technology-Intensive.'
Vitaly Berezka, Regional Head for Central Asia, MENA & APAC at PlanRadar, will join an expert panel to explore how PropTech is revolutionizing traditional property management workflows, reducing reliance on manual processes, and paving the way for a technology-driven approach to operations. The discussion will bring together industry leaders to highlight the latest innovations shaping the property and real estate management sector, offering key insights into how businesses can successfully navigate the shift from labour-intensive to tech-powered solutions.
The Rising Demand for PropTech in 2025
The demand for PropTech solutions has never been more critical as the real estate and property management industries face mounting pressures from rising operational costs, increasing tenant expectations, and the need for digital transformation. A recent report by PwC and the Urban Land Institute highlights that 83% of real estate executives worldwide believe digital adoption is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. Traditional property management models, which rely heavily on manual workflows, extensive paperwork, and high labour costs, are no longer sustainable in a rapidly evolving market.
PropTech is addressing these challenges through automation, digital workflows, and AI-driven analytics, allowing property managers to optimize resource allocation, improve decision-making, and cut operational costs by up to 30%. By leveraging cloud-based platforms, real-time reporting, and predictive maintenance tools, companies can shift from reactive management to a proactive, tech-enabled approach that enhances building efficiency, reduces downtime, and increases tenant satisfaction.
PropTech Adoption in the UAE: A Fast-Growing Market
The UAE has emerged as a regional leader in PropTech adoption, aligning with global markets through strong government-backed smart city initiatives and a forward-thinking regulatory framework. The country's commitment to digital transformation, sustainability, and infrastructure modernization is driving accelerated adoption of technology-driven property management solutions.
Beyond efficiency, PropTech is playing a crucial role in sustainability and regulatory compliance, enabling real estate firms to meet environmental targets and adhere to green building standards. As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria become a priority for investors and stakeholders, smart PropTech solutions help businesses track energy consumption, automate compliance reporting, and reduce carbon footprints. With the UAE real estate sector embracing digital transformation at an unprecedented pace, IPS Congress 2025 will provide an ideal platform to explore the latest trends, innovations, and best practices in PropTech adoption.
PlanRadar's participation at IPS Congress 2025 reinforces its commitment to empowering property professionals with smart, data-driven solutions that optimize efficiency, enhance compliance, and drive long-term value in the real estate sector.

Admissions open for PwC Academy's Young Employable Scholar (YES) programme as higher education landscape shifts
Fast-track programme offers ambitious UAE students a more accessible path to becoming chartered accountants amid rising education costs PwC Academy, the talent and skills development business of PwC Middle East, has opened admissions for the sixth edition of its highly successful Young Employable Scholar (YES) Programme. With 80% of graduates securing positions in leading organisations, this transformative higher education pathway combines the prestigious ACCA (the Association of Chartered Accountants) qualification with the UAE VAT Compliance Diploma and AI training. This two-and-a-half-year programme equips ambitious students with the fundamental skills needed to excel in a career in accounting and finance. The YES Programme reflects a wider shift in perception and expectation towards higher education. A recent report from World Economic Forum (WEF) and PwC found only around 50% of surveyed country's working populations are employed in professions that match their formal education level, highlighting a clear need for a more direct focus on job-relevant skills. The programme provides a combination of qualifications, practical training, and exposure to industry experts from a Big Four firm, directly preparing students for the work they will be performing. This new age approach is rapidly gaining recognition among high-achieving students seeking a first-class career in accounting or finance while side-stepping traditional higher education barriers. This cost and time-effective solution to higher education, tailor made by PwC professionals, targets the skills that will enable accountants to flourish in tomorrow's world. This accelerated timeline means graduates can start earning and advancing their careers while their peers are still studying. One recent graduate, who now works at PwC said: "The YES programme was a great experience that I couldn't recommend enough. The level of teaching and support I received throughout the programme was exceptional, and as a result I secured a role at PwC within a month of graduating." The YES Programme reflects a wider shift in professional qualification requirements. For example, a recent US study by specialist research platform Intelligent found 45% of surveyed companies are moving away from traditional degree requirements in favour of skills-based hiring. Beyond strengthening accounting and workplace skills, the programme is also a pathway to internship opportunities at renowned entities in the UAE, upon successful completion. For those seeking further education, graduates can advance directly to an MSc from University of London, bypassing traditional bachelor's degree requirements. Taimur Ali, PwC partner and head of qualifications at PwC Academy: 'The value of the YES programme goes far beyond cost and time savings. It provides students with a comprehensive academic experience, equipping them with the skills essential to excel in today's fast-paced world. Organisations in the region thrive on the agility and adaptability of their talent, which is why programmes such as YES are pivotal in shaping the leaders of tomorrow." The YES programme is open to exceptional high school graduates with strong academic performance in Mathematics and English who demonstrate leadership potential and commitment to a career in accounting or finance.
