🌍 How can Proptech & Real Estate unite to drive decarbonisation? This is our final article sharing insights from Expo Real in Munich, where sustainability and decarbonisation took center stage. Achieving Net Zero goals requires an urgent and innovative collaboration between industry leaders, governments, and proptech startups. 💪 These partnerships are essential to foster breakthrough technologies, reshape policies, and transform the construction and operational lifecycles of buildings. Startups like hello energy, Perfect Place and Optiml showcased how data and AI-driven solutions can optimize carbon tracking, energy management, and sustainable investment strategies. Meanwhile, at CFE we are leading by example, integrating proptech solutions to reduce emissions across projects like Wood Hub, our new HQ. With actionable insights and innovative tools, the path to decarbonising real estate is clear. Are we ready to act? Let’s collaborate and accelerate the journey toward a greener future. 🌱 #Decarbonisation #NetZero #Proptech #RealEstate #Innovation #Sustainability #Pulsingforgood #WoodHub

🌟 Announcing new partnership with Ethias! 🌟 We are proud to announce that PULSE will be collaborating with Ethias on the revalorisation of one of their office buildings in Jambes! 🏢  Ethias has entrusted us with consulting services that focus on three key areas: taxonomy, decarbonisation, and comfort & well-being.
