ProperGate is one step closer to being a part of MBRIF Innovation Accelerator


ProperGate has pitched to be a part of Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund (MBRIF) accelerator. This leading construction technology company is one of just 20 startups from all around the world that got the chance to participate in the latest batch of official innovation acceleration program of the United Arab Emirates.


Anna Walkowska and Rafał Grudzień, CTO and CEO of ProperGate, took part in MBRIF’s Pitch Day in Dubai and presented the company's solution to fund’s Advisory & Decision Committee. System provided by ProperGate is the leading smart delivery management software for construction projects delivered on time. According to ProperGate’s estimates, the implementation of their solutions can save up to 15% of the costs of large construction projects by optimizing logistics processes.


Our solution was well received by MBRIF’s Advisory & Decision Committee and we hope that in two weeks' time we’ll learn that ProperGate will be a part of the UAE's official innovation acceleration program. We build software to automate material delivery logistics management at large construction sites. Using ProperGate’s solution will make the construction project more sustainable and transparent as well as will help to implement it according to the schedule set by the investor.

ProperGate is working on implementations of its solution with BESIX Group at their projects in Dubai and Rabat, the capital city of Morocco, as well as with Dom Construction at a residential project in Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. At the moment, ProperGate is focusing on the construction of skyscrapers, office buildings, and residential buildings, but will also expand its activities to public buildings, factories and warehouses.
