GuocoLand partners with local enterprises for digitalisation

The group eyes to implement more than 20 projects over the next two years in line with its digitalisation drive.

GuocoLand Limited and its subsidiaries launched strategic partnerships with several local technology companies to accelerate the digitalisation of its businesses.

In a media release on Thursday, the GuocoLand Group said it plans to implement 20-digital-related projects over the next two years in its property investment and development businesses.

It will collaborate with local enterprises Airsquire, Groundup.ai, Operva AI, SpaceAge Labs, and Doxa on projects involving the deployment of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, drone technology, and smart devices, amongst other innovations.

“The transformation of Singapore’s built environment sector requires all organisations in the eco-system to play their part. As we studied the technologies available, we found many cutting-edge innovations being pioneered by local start-ups. We decided to support our home-grown companies and collaborate with them to co-create more innovative and sustainable solutions,” GuocoLand Group CEO Cheng Hsing Yao said.

GuocoLand said these collaborations facilitated by Enterprise Singapore will enable the Group to “enhance its productivity and efficiency, improve workplace safety standards, and mitigate manpower constraints over time,” adding that it is exploring more initiatives through partnerships with local start-ups and other small and medium-sized enterprises on other pilot projects.

These projects will have an impact and raise the “entire value chain of the built environment sector” including design, procurement and contracts, construction methodology, site management, quality surveillance, and facility management.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
