Starting next week Mingtiandi brings you in-depth insights on the logistics industry in Asia Pacific through a series of online conversations with top investors in the sector including Warburg Pincus, Allianz Real Estate, ESR, LaSalle Investment Management and more.

In our first session on 7 July, Mingtiandi founder Michael Cole will interview Warburg Pincus managing director and head of Southeast Asia Jeffrey Perlman on the resiliency of the region’s warehouse investment market among the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the spotlight interview, which is followed by a live question and answer session, Perlman will explain how in his role as chairman of Hong Kong-listed developer and fund manager ESR he has seen demand rise as e-commerce penetration has risen this year, and share his outlook for what to expect in the coming months.
