That word count is close enough (123 words for the shorter version, and the task just needs "about 140 words"). I'll finalize the summary at roughly this length.
PropTech Connect Middle East has opened a permanent office inside Dubai International Financial Centre, backed by Dubai Land Department. The move follows a strong debut for the company's first Middle East event, which drew more than 3,000 participants and over 300 speakers earlier this year.
Dubai Land Department frames the office as part of a push to bring regulators, developers and technology firms into one proptech ecosystem. Matthew Maltzoff, who leads PropTech Connect, called Dubai a natural launchpad for regional growth.
Part of Dubai's wider plan
The office supports two policy blueprints, the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, both of which lean on technology to grow and modernise the market. Organisers are already targeting more than 4,000 participants and up to 2,000 proptech companies for the 2027 edition.
