Summary

• Table 3 notes USD 2.1 billion invested in ConTech startups in 2021.p.8

Key insights

2. Many companies plan to allocate more than 10% of total budgets to digitalisation by 2024.p.8
3. The valuation of digital assets in construction remains insufficiently explored, because traditional accounting is designed for tangible assets.p.5
4. Construction remains one of the least innovation-active sectors within the national economy.p.4
5. Asset tokenisation of real estate, digital building models and software licenses is proposed to increase liquidity and open new sources of financing.p.7
