Warehouses are rapidly being transformed from simple sheds to multi-purpose fulfilment centres, with developers and operators rapidly adding new tech systems to meet the needs of e-commerce platforms, according to a trio of experts who will be appearing on MTD TV this week.

Representatives of developer and fund manager ESR, Taiwan builder Ally Logistic Property and UK venture capital firm Pi Labs will be joining in a panel discussion hosted by Mingtiandi on Wednesday, 27 January to discuss how tech firms and logistics real estate companies are working together to better serve the needs of tenants who compete for delivery speed and efficiency.

Logistics Specialists and Tech Investors Together

Joining the panel from ESR is senior managing director Dr Michael de Jong-Douglas, who also heads the Hong Kong-listed firm’s Future Solutions Group, which is responsible for business development, new markets and new technology initiatives across the group’s 18.7 million square metre (201 million square foot) portfolio.
