Adoption of AI in Asian Real Estate to Take Centre Stage at Yardi-Mingtiandi Tuesday Event

75 percent of respondents to a survey conducted by Mingtiandi and Yardi earlier this year reported that their companies have taken steps toward using AI or already implementing the technology, with the results of that poll to be the subject of an event in Singapore on Tuesday.

The level of AI adoption marks a significant jump from the 56 percent level of adoption reported in the 2024 edition of the survey, with the event set to explore the force behind the surge in use of artificial intelligence as well as other technologies.

The event at the St Regis Hotel, which is free to attend, starts at 9:00 AM with a presentation of the report findings by Bernie Devine, senior regional director at Yardi, who will highlight the industry changes documented in this original research. 

The event is based on the sixth edition of the Yardi-Mingtiandi tech adoption survey, which polled Mingtiandi’s more than 15,000 subscribers. Interested attendees can contact the Mingtiandi team at the link above. 

Industry Experts Weigh-In

Following the presentation of the report findings, the event will continue with a panel discussion moderated by Mingtiandi founder Michael Cole and featuring Yvonne Voon, co-founder of Singapore’s Built Environment Technology Association (BETA); Alice Chen, co-founder and general counsel at InvestaX & IX Swap and Zak Ungerman, managing director at Emergent Capital Partners.

Together the panelists will share from their experiences leading tech-enabled companies in Asia’s real estate industry, as well as giving their views on the survey findings. 

In addition to pointing to more AI adoption, the survey showed that 52 percent of respondents reported that adoption of AI provided operational efficiencies with measurable business impact, while 36 percent said the technology enhanced strategic decision-making by enabling data-driven insights.

In terms of use cases, respondents indicated that AI will prove to be most useful for research, followed by investment analysis and in managing asset allocation.

Nearly 100 Attendees Expected

With the event launching last year’s tech survey report having brought in more than 80 guests from the region’s largest real estate investment managers and service providers, the Tuesday event is expected to bring together nearly 100 senior level industry professionals. 

Attendees can expect to gain insights from the survey results presentation as well as from the panel discussion in one of Singapore’s last significant real estate industry gatherings of 2025.

With real estate rapidly becoming more dependent on effective use of technology, preparations are already underway for the 2026 tech adoption survey.
