The world's superpowers are engaging in a different type of arms race beyond the battlefield. With technology advancing at a speedy pace, a global competition for all the ingredients necessary to support artificial intelligence—from data centers and semiconductors to the AI models themselves—is heating up. Not only do these ingredients form the building blocks of today's economy, but building a secure and reliable flow of data is also considered a key national security objective. The UK designated data centers as critical national infrastructure in 2024, underlining how governments are now prioritizing energy supply, cybersecurity, and efforts to guard the digital world from adversaries. This race for technological supremacy, coupled with growing private-sector demand related to AI and cloud computing, is propelling new investment opportunities. This episode of The Outthinking Investor covers the opportunities, challenges, and security considerations at play amid rapid innovation in AI and a global battle for technological supremacy. Topics include the intersection of AI, chips and national security; governments' pursuit of secure and reliable supply chains; and real estate opportunities created by rapid growth in hyperscale data centers. Our guests are Chris Miller, a professor at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and author of the book “Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology”; William Reinsch, senior adviser with the Economics Program and Scholl Chair in International Business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; and Morgan Laughlin, Global Head of Data Center Investments at PGIM Real Estate.

Cities have faced a host of challenges over the course of history, such as affordable housing, transportation, public safety and economic opportunities. In today's rapidly changing global economy, these challenges are becoming increasingly complex, with cities needing to adapt to technological advancements, climate risks, and fluctuating fiscal policies. The most successful cities are dynamic and adapt to changing circumstances. Consider Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as a prime example. Once known for its manufacturing might, Pittsburgh had to reinvent itself after the collapse of the steel industry in the 1980s. The Steel City successfully mounted a turnaround by becoming an innovation hub, thanks to a strong academic presence and low cost of living that attracted technology and healthcare employers. What lessons can cities draw from urban transformations of the past?  This episode of The Outthinking Investor explores the role investors will play in solving many of the challenges that cities face. With opportunities emerging across real estate, infrastructure, technology and more, institutional investors are already providing much of the capital needed to fund urban development. Edward Glaeser, economics professor at Harvard University and co-author of “Survival of the City: Living and Thriving in an Age of Isolation”; Jeff Speck, partner at the urban planning and design firm Speck Dempsey; and Cathy Marcus, Co-CEO and Global COO of PGIM Real Estate, discuss the evolution of cities, the challenges they must overcome, and emerging opportunities for investors.  To hear more from PGIM, tune into our new podcast, Speaking of Alternatives, hosted by Eric Adler, President and CEO of PGIM Private Alternatives.

High inflation, epic rise in interest rates, declining valuations, looming regulatory changes and a great divide between buyers and sellers—this cocktail of factors has created an unfavorable environment for multifamily transactions in 2023. And Stephanie Wiggins, managing director & head of production for agency lending at PGIM Real Estate, believes there's not enough daylight left in the year to make up for the loss in volume that the industry has experienced, despite recent improvements in Treasury yields. However, this hasn't made her less optimistic about the future. She believes that in 2024 the bid-ask spread between buyers and seller will mitigate as they become more realistic about valuations. She feels that experienced borrowers will change their mindset and adjust their expectations about interest rates.

Timestamps: [02:20] Jonathan: Talk us through your career and tell us how you ended up at Taronga Ventures? My career started in China, I did my post-grad at a Chinese University and I started doing Urban Planning and from there I stumbled into real estate working for a Singaporean firm in China (one the first VC funds in that markert).  After working in VC, I started at Savills and I have now been in real estate for the last 25 years.  I then worked for Abu Dhabi Investment Authority before moving on to ING Real Estate Finance and most recently Mirvac. [04:30] Joanna: Can you tell us about your 15 years in real estate?  I started at Harvard studying neuroscience. Investment banks, consulting companies and banks love Ivy league kids with science degrees so I went to work at KeyBank Real Estate Capital where we did the structural and financial side of real estate.   I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur and started a small fund where we bought multifamily assets, refurbished them and started a property management company to do that.  I arrived in Australia at 30, with a failed business and a banking career so I started working on strategy at DEXUS Property Group.  I was more interested in the cutting edge and at Lendlease I was doing transformation and innovation, moving further up the R and D curve. [07:20] Joanna: What are investors honing in on when it comes to innovation?  We have a broad innovation strategy. Advanced analytics and data underpins all of it.  One of the ways of innovating is to take on startups and scaleups and integrate new technologies.  Data and analytics sit under everything that we do.  [09:20] Jonathan: You are currently running an ESG impact program, can you talk us through the program and the mission of it?  We needed to have both the fund and a growth program.  The ESG program is for select high calibre quality companies We needed to move up to the scalable businesses who already had customers and they had some level of traction because the real estate world actually couldn't deal with startups.  It is an ecosystem builder.  [13:00] Joanna: With ESG, it is difficult to get good data from it as well as finding technology to support it. What is your take on this?  Historically in real estate, the industry has been extremely opaque. There's been huge information asymmetry and that's resulted in a massive lack of transparency.  The information asymmetries are breaking down and what's happening is we're starting to be able to abstract data from other industries and from other data sets in order to back solve and fill in data that the real estate industry either doesn't have or is not sharing.  The pressure from the investors and the capital regarding ESG is forcing a level of transparency and scrutiny that is going to become akin to financial reporting.   [15:35] On the topic of investment going into the real estate space and ESG, are there any technologies which you guys can share?  For the last 12 months, every investor and every discussion has been about ESG.   In the building management, energy efficiency space, there are a lot of Companies that are targeting that as an area, but we are looking for a more complete solution.  It often isn't a cost, it's actually a benefit and an upside for the corporates that start using this technique [18:30] Joanna: Are there any major trends that you have seen in the real estate space?  The move from the point solutions to something that is more of a holistic ecosystem as well as the blending of the technologies together. Some technologies simplify a part of something but causes so much extra exhaustion. [21:25] How do we attract and retain more people into the real estate and data world?  The first thing is to know that it is possible.  In terms of diversity, I think it is about honouring diversity of thought and innovation.  [24:40] Jonathan: What are your thoughts on this, knowing that you are in the hiring process?  What we've tried to do from within our advisory board and from our hiring policy, is to have the most diverse approach hiring that we can have.  When we've looked through the businesses that we are investing in, we often see that it is male founded.   We're doing a lot of work to try to positively fund female founded enterprises.   [29:35] Have you seen any change happening when it comes down to education and exploring technology as a career path? Jonathan: I moved from Australia from Sweden, and in Sweden there is just a different approach. We have systematic issues in Australia when it comes to childcare.  Joanna: I think there is a lack of how to even do this and things like how to raise capital. [32:30] Jonathan: What is next for Taronga?  In the next three months we will be churning through hundreds of deals to work out the partners for the ESG program. [33:25] Joanna: What is exciting that is coming up?  The data, analytics and advanced analytics of ESG and the ecosystem around that.  Giving the power back to the people  where you no longer have to big IT for innovation.  [35:50] The ‘LMRE' part, Louisa asks the guests to talk about;  L – Touch on the main lessons you have learnt throughout your career. Jonathan: Decision-making in the corporate real estate world takes longer and you need to build your business to be able to withstand that challenge. Joanna: Be really resourceful and find a way. M - Please give a mention to anyone / product / service. Jonathan: SPACECUBE Joanna: William Cosby - Ex Omina   R – What has been the most rewarding aspect of working in PropTech? Jonathan: The people Joanna: Partnering E - What are you excited about in the future of PropTech? Joanna: Distilling down to the fundamental set of data points.

In particular the Built Environment is of enormous importance to us all on many levels, it is of course where we live and work, and because of that impacts not just our immediate lives, but as you will hear, contributes far more to carbon emissions than transport, which gets most coverage at present. Greg has a great background, including reporting directly to Elon Musk at the Boring Company and Neuralink. Take a listen. About Greg Smithies:  Greg is a Partner at Fifth Wall, where he co-leads the Climate Technology Investment team.
