Idriss Goossens

With over 10 years of experience in the PropTech space, Goossens is the founder of EightySeven, a real estate innovators network based in Belgium, but also active in Luxembourg, Czechia, Spain and Portugal. EightySeven helps start-ups raise capital and advises large real estate corporations on their innovation strategy. In 2019, Goossens co-founded the European PropTech Association. In 2020, Idriss founded RELEVATION, the digital fundraising summit for PropTech. This digital event was created as the pandemic greatly accelerated the adoption of PropTech and the need arose for a digital solution to connect start-ups and investors. RELEVATION facilitated investments in the PropTech space, by connecting founders to VC’s, GP’s to LP’s, and ease the access to talents with a digital job fair. In 2021 EightySeven launched RecA in joint-venture with Revive, a ESG Accelerator for construction & real estate firms. In 2023 EightySeven launched coworking Spaces dedicated to proptech, in partnership with Eaglestone (UrbanTech Hub 350 avenue Louise, in Brussels), with Alides (2 Boulevard de la Woluwe, Brussels), and with Sitio (Rossio, Portugal)
