Salwa Arfaoui: Empowering Women, Elevating Real Estate, and Leading the PropTech Revolution

In a world where technology is disrupting every industry, few are as passionately leveraging this transformation as Salwa Arfaoui. A visionary real estate strategist, global speaker, and advocate for women’s financial empowerment, Salwa stands at the cutting edge of PropTech and AI integration in real estate. As the Regional Director at Next Level Real Estate and CEO & Co-Founder of Women of Vision, she is reshaping the traditional narrative of investment and property ownership by placing women—and innovation—at the forefront.

A Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) and proud member of FIABCI USA, France, and UAE, Salwa is not only an expert in her field but also a movement-maker. Through her Women of Vision platform, she delivers structured advisory sessions and intensive training programs focused on fractional ownership, real estate crowdfunding, and AI-powered investment strategies. Her goal? To give women everywhere the tools, technology, and confidence to become successful investors in a sector historically dominated by men.

“The future belongs to those who adopt and adapt. PropTech and AI are opening doors that were once closed—especially for women,” Salwa says.

Her thought leadership has earned her invitations to speak at top international platforms, including the WYN Conference in Miami, TEDx Youth at the International School of Creative Science, and the Fifth World Edition of the Artificial Intelligence Journalism & Economy Forum in partnership with the American University of Sharjah. She also made notable contributions at the Realtek Summit 2025, reinforcing her position as a global voice in the evolution of smart real estate.

Beyond her technological expertise, Salwa’s influence is also deeply rooted in her passion for promoting Dubai as a hub of innovation. She consistently praises the UAE’s forward-thinking vision and AI-powered digital transformation in real estate, declaring, “Dubai isn’t just embracing the future—it’s creating it.”

Her work has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, Salwa was named among the Top 50 Influential Women in Business Worldwide. Her achievements culminated in a prestigious honor presented by His Excellency Sheikh Salim bin Sultan bin Sagar Al Qasimi: the Women Leader in Business and Real Estate in the Middle East award—further solidifying her legacy in the region and beyond.

Today, Salwa Arfaoui serves not only as a Regional Director and educator but also as a proud member of the Dubai Women Business Council and an IREI Instructor, mentoring the next generation of women leaders who will carry her vision forward.
