On Friday, we were invited by the guys at PlaceTech to exhibit the Hark Platform and discuss the latest innovations and research in proptech.
As part of the Mi Idea community, Hark was one of three companies asked to showcase our technology and demonstrate its place within the growing conversation around smart buildings and cities.
The PlaceTech Trend Talk started with a really insightful presentation from Tom Renn, Managing Director at Manchester Science Partnerships and Bev Taylor, Energy Manager at Bruntwood. They shared their thoughts on energy usage monitoring and the idea of working towards a smart grid.

After some more talks into the importance of your office environment and even the role of BlockChain within proptech, we were invited on stage to explain the Hark Platform and were involved in a lively discussion on pertinent smart building issues with our piers.
