Three innovative digital projects have been selected in the "Real Estate and Housing" category of Le Faso Digital 2026. These projects, led by Guy Joël Delwendé Tambi, Daouda Boena, and Maurice Yabré, aim to facilitate interactions between professionals and clients, increase visibility of offers, and simplify certain processes. The projects will benefit from a support program offered by Digitales Solidaires, a partner of the event.
The three projects address common challenges faced by individuals and investors in Burkina Faso, including finding a house to rent, identifying reliable real estate promoters, and booking accommodations during major events. Currently, social media and online platforms play a growing role in real estate searches, but information can be difficult to compare, and users may struggle to verify the credibility of offers. For Burkinabè living abroad, investing in real estate in their home country can be particularly challenging.
One of the selected projects, led by Guy Joël Delwendé Tambi, aims to recreate the experience of professional trade shows in a virtual environment. The platform allows visitors to explore virtual exhibition halls, interact with exhibitors, and discuss projects without having to physically attend the event. The platform is accessible via a simple internet browser and does not require specialized equipment or software installation.
The virtual trade show platform offers various features, including spatialized voice communication, allowing visitors to engage in natural-sounding conversations with others in the virtual environment. Visitors can also consult documents, collect information, and leave their contact details to be followed up by exhibitors. For real estate companies, this approach could provide a new way to present their projects to potential clients and interact with them remotely.
Another key aspect of the platform is its customization options for organizers, who can design their own virtual environment and import their own 3D models. The application can automatically adjust the scale of these models to ensure a seamless experience. Multiple exhibition halls can be created and connected by passages, allowing for a comprehensive and immersive experience.
The two other projects selected in the "Real Estate and Housing" category aim to provide solutions for booking accommodations and finding housing. While details about these projects are not provided, they are expected to contribute to the development of innovative real estate services in Burkina Faso. The support program offered by Digitales Solidaires will likely play a crucial role in helping these projects succeed.
The introduction of these digital innovations is expected to have a significant impact on the real estate sector in Burkina Faso, making it easier for individuals and investors to access various services and interact with professionals. By leveraging technology, these projects aim to address common challenges and improve the overall efficiency of the real estate market.
