About this two-part conversation
The demand for data centres is exploding — but infrastructure isn’t keeping pace. In this two-part episode, we explore how the industry is responding with bold innovation, decentralised models and a reimagining of what data infrastructure can be.
In part one, GHD’s Tai Hollingsbee (Head of Sustainability, Asia Pacific) is joined by Andrew Morrison (Australian Market Leader for Property and Buildings, GHD), Samuel Benson (Co-Founder, OceanBit) and Harqs Singh (CTO and Co-Founder, InfraPartners) to unpack the infrastructure bottlenecks facing data centre development. From behind-the-meter energy solutions to prefabricated construction and offshore models, they explore how innovation is breaking the rules to meet demand.
In part two, the conversation continues with a shift in focus — regional data centres, sovereign AI models and ultra-low latency infrastructure. Together, the discussion explores how decentralisation is closing the digital divide, why regional hubs are critical to future-proofing intelligence and how sustainable innovation is driving new forms of community value.
Episodes are released monthly, so stay tuned as we explore the pervasive ways innovation and digital transformation are reshaping our world and future-proofing communities.
