Description

We’re asking whether data centres can thrive beyond the grid, and how regional infrastructure is unlocking new possibilities for AI and digital equity.

In this episode of Transform, GHD’s Andrew Morrison (Australian Market Leader for Property and Buildings, GHD) continues the conversation with Tai Hollingsbee (Head of Sustainability, Asia Pacific), Samuel Benson (Co-Founder, OceanBit) and Harqs Singh (CTO and Co-Founder, InfraPartners). This time, the focus shifts to the future — regional data centres, sovereign AI models and ultra-low latency infrastructure. 

They explore how decentralisation is changing the investment landscape, why regional hubs are critical to closing the digital divide and how sustainable innovation is driving new forms of community value.

Listen to hear insights on the next wave of data centre development and what it means for the future of intelligence, infrastructure and inclusion.
