"I expect that the technology industry will put increasing demands on developers through its insatiable thirst for characterful, design led environments. They in turn will give us augmented reality and a sensory system laid across our cities via the internet akin to a central nervous system which will revolutionise our cities and finally make them smart. Their innovations will drive energy and transport efficiency, and may ultimately create new materials from which to bring about new construction methods.
That this report from Colliers International has been written to capture and charter the progress of Europe’s tech clusters is commendable, and I firmly believe that the findings within it will be of tremendous value to drive this convergence between the built environment and the technology industry. We are custodians of place and participants in them, and as the tech industry and property industry continue to converge we will co-create their futures."
