At Prague Property Forum 2026, industry leaders from across the property and facility management ecosystem examined how digital tools are changing the way buildings are operated, valued and experienced. The discussion moved beyond the usual AI hype to focus on the real challenges behind transformation: organisational culture, data quality, workforce readiness and the growing expectation for buildings to function as responsive service platforms rather than static assets. While technologies such as AI, automation and occupancy analytics are advancing rapidly, the panel agreed that long-term success will depend less on the tools themselves and more on how effectively companies integrate them into everyday operations, decision-making and user experience.

Globalworth has renewed its Access4you certification for all 16 office buildings in its Romanian portfolio, totaling almost 500,000 sqm. The recertification, conducted with consultancy services from Colliers, marks the second three-year certification cycle for the leading office investor in CEE.

Once seen primarily as a regulatory requirement, accessibility is now increasingly recognised as a driver of value in the real estate market. Balázs Berecz, Founder and CEO of Access4you, who himself has been a wheelchair user since 2005, explains how accessibility is moving beyond compliance to become a competitive advantage, influencing ESG scores, boosting occupancy, and shaping investment decisions.

The WELL Building Standard officially accepts the Access4you Certification as an alternative compliance option for Feature C13, which focuses on accessibility and universal design. This integration helps WELL projects gain a new, global compliance opportunity and creates a supportive environment for people with diverse accessibility needs.
