Dubai Land Department (DLD) and REACH, a globally recognised real estate technology accelerator backed by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR), have signed a landmark partnership to launch REACH Middle East.

The pioneering initiative aims to attract emerging proptech companies to Dubai and the region while driving innovation in the real estate sector.

This partnership comes as Dubai Land Department gears up to host PropTech Connect 2026, the world’s premier real estate technology conference and exhibition. The first-of-its-kind event will unite top industry leaders, investors, and proptech innovators from across the globe to explore cutting-edge digital solutions, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and data analytics that are reshaping the future of the real estate sector worldwide.

This collaboration reflects DLD's commitment to supporting and advancing the real estate sector by attracting a specialised US investment fund in proptech to Dubai. ‘REACH’ is among the most active investment funds globally in this field, with over 300 investments worldwide, in addition to various strategic partnerships that reinforce the emirate’s position as a global hub for innovation and sustainable real estate. It also contributes to comprehensive economic development and aligns with the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033 objectives, which strengthens the emirate’s leadership in shaping the sector's future and enhancing its global competitiveness.
