Could AI help bring empty buildings back to life?

Time -

Join Dr Katherine Gunderson, founder and CEO of Grand Bequest, for the next GCoSI Deep Dive at Glasgow Science Centre — exploring how data, regeneration and technology could help reimagine vacant buildings across Glasgow and beyond.

Fresh from speaking at London Tech Week, Katherine will bring fresh insights from one of the world’s leading technology conferences.


Thousands of buildings across Glasgow lie empty long-term — from former homes and shops to historic properties and unused spaces. They are silent reminders of changing industries, shifting populations and untapped potential.

This GCoSI Deep Dive asks a big question: could emerging technologies such as AI help reimagine these spaces and bring them back into use?

Join an audience-led conversation with Dr Katherine Gunderson, founder and CEO of Grand Bequest — Scotland’s first PropTech B Corp and the world’s first AI-driven platform for redeveloping vacant buildings. Through her work combining data, conservation and sustainability, Katherine will explore how we can rethink empty properties not as problems, but as opportunities to create community value, support social and affordable housing, preserve heritage and unlock long-term impact.
