ATechX, reaches an asset base of around €400 billion and €1.5 billion in venture funding – Apleona and Zacua Ventures expand global partner network

ATechX, the innovation and venture platform of Aroundtown, together with its international partner network, has reached an asset base of over €400 billion and an aggregated venture capital funding exceeding €1.5 billion. Since its launch in 2024, ATechX has rapidly established itself as a globally relevant platform for PropTech innovation.

Today, the partner network is active across Europe, North and South America, and Asia, bringing together a large and diverse real estate portfolio. Spanning multiple asset classes—including residential, office, hotel, retail, and logistics—this creates a strong foundation for the development and scaling of new PropTech innovations. With the addition of Apleona and Zacua Ventures, this global network is now being strategically further strengthened.

The Apleona Group, one of Europe’s leading facility management providers and market leader in Germany, contributes extensive operational expertise to the partner network. With its focus on long-term client relationships and efficient, sustainable building operations, Apleona significantly enhances the ability to implement and scale PropTech innovations directly within ongoing property operations. In doing so, the company makes a substantial contribution to the practical, real-world deployment of new technologies across existing assets.

With Zacua Ventures, ATechX gains an international venture capital investor specializing in the built environment. Operating globally with offices in San Francisco, New York, Singapore, Madrid, and Mexico City, Zacua Ventures brings deep expertise in ESG, construction innovation, and technology-driven efficiency improvements. This strengthens the investment perspective within the network and supports the global development and scaling of sustainable PropTech innovations.

“The successful scaling of ATechX since its launch in 2024 underscores the strong demand for practical innovation in the real estate industry. Through our expanded partner network, we provide young companies with PropTech and AI solutions direct access to global market players and real-world real estate portfolios.” says Barak Bar-Hen, CEO at Aroundtown.

“Our partnership with ATechX gives us early access to emerging ideas and innovations, enabling us to selectively integrate them into the operational management of real estate. In doing so, we create added value for owners and users alike.,” says Dr. Pascal Engel, CTO at Apleona.

“ATechX combines access to high-quality real estate portfolios with a strong international partner network. For us, this represents an ideal platform to drive innovation in the built environment globally and to scale sustainable solutions,” says Mauricio Weiss, CEO at Zacua Ventures.

Looking ahead to its upcoming fourth cohort, ATechX once again offers start-ups the opportunity to develop, test, and scale their PropTech innovations directly within an international real estate portfolio. The core approach of ATechX is based on direct access to real assets and partner portfolios, enabling innovations to be validated under real market conditions and further developed in close collaboration with leading industry players.
