The Tech Capital caught up with Kok-Chye Ong, the managing director and head of data centre at Gaw Capital, at The Tech Capital’s International Finance Forum 2023 in London to discuss the company's focus on data centres in the Asian market. Gaw Capital is an Asian-based investor with over US$36 billion of capital deployed across various real estate classes. While they have been in the data centre space for only a few years, they recognise the significant demand-supply mismatch in Asia, particularly in emerging markets. The company aims to capitalise on the growth of data creation and artificial intelligence in the region. However, they also face challenges related to infrastructure development and evolving regulations surrounding data management and localization in Asia. Ong said Gaw Capital differentiates itself by having a strong track record of project execution and active management of investments in the region. They are building a portfolio of data centres in key markets like Korea, Japan, and China, as well as in high-growth markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This approach aims to strike a balance between growth and stability. Gaw Capital's data centre strategy involves identifying high-growth opportunities at the asset level and managing risks through site selection and infrastructure readiness. At the portfolio level, they aim to create an appealing mix of assets and projects in both developing and developed markets.
