The US Proptech Council aims to be at the forefront of the proptech industry by promoting cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and smart solutions within the real estate sector. By collaborating with leading academic institutions, we believe we can bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications, thus enriching both the educational experience for students and the innovative capacity of the industry.

We want to partner with any university program that has a strong commitment to research and innovation, as well as its forward-thinking approach to integrating technology with traditional disciplines. 

We envision a partnership where our combined resources and expertise can create significant impact through:

1. Joint Research Initiatives: Collaborating on research projects that explore new technologies and methodologies in proptech, thereby pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the industry.
2. Educational Programs: Developing specialized courses, workshops, and seminars that can equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the proptech sector.
3. Internship and Career Opportunities: Creating pathways for students to gain practical experience and employment opportunities within the proptech industry through internships, co-op programs, and networking events.
4. Innovation Labs and Competitions: Establishing innovation labs and hosting hackathons or      competitions that encourage students to develop creative solutions to real-world challenges in proptech.
5. Technology Commercialization: Should there be technology that is developed at a university that has applications in the real estate industry, the Council will support the connection of a proptech company with the professor or university team to foster the licensing of the technology via education and resources.
6. Student Chapters: Forming student chapters of the US Proptech Council offers numerous benefits, including providing students with direct access to industry insights, networking opportunities, and real-world applications of their academic studies. A student chapter can serve as a dynamic platform for students to engage with professionals, participate in exclusive events, and gain exposure to the latest trends and technologies shaping the proptech industry. It fosters a collaborative learning environment where students can work on innovative projects, receive mentorship from industry experts, and enhance their career prospects through internships and job placements. Additionally, being part of a student chapter helps students develop leadership and organizational skills, preparing them to be future leaders in the rapidly evolving field of real estate technology.
7. Real Estate Alumni Networks:  Alumni networks can gain access to industry events, roundtables, and forums where they can connect with industry leaders, innovators, and potential partners from their alma mater. This can help alumni expand their professional network and explore new business opportunities.
