As the demand for data centres continues to grow in these regions, the lack of skilled professionals and robust supply chains has become a significant hurdle. We invite industry experts, thought leaders, and stakeholders to share their insights and propose solutions to bridge the talent gap and enhance supply chain efficiency.

Join us in this collaborative effort to ensure the sustainable growth of the data centre market in Southeast Asia. Together, we can build a future where talent and technology thrive.

CBRE is looking for disruptive, innovative ideas in the industry that will help us with People, Processes and Technology changes that will help us both internally and externally.

CBRE is particularly interested in solutions that are ready for the market, but all stages of development will be considered.

What's in it for you?

A successful collaboration could mean, for individuals, becoming part of the wider CBRE group. For organizations, it could mean forming a contractual relationship or joint venture to co-develop and launch the idea to market. 

This is an Asia Pacific challenge. CBRE will conduct an internal review of all applications once the challenge has closed. Successful applicants will be contacted post-review.
