This document discusses three megatrends - globalization, demographic shifts, and flexible working - that are impacting commercial real estate investment. It outlines how globalization is increasing capital flows and opening new markets. Demographic trends like population aging are shaping consumer demand. Flexible working arrangements are fueling rapid growth in co-working office spaces. The document then describes an investment opportunity in a co-working real estate company that aims to harness these megatrends through global expansion.
The Work Ahead: The Future of Business and Jobs in Asia Pacific's Digital Eco...Cognizant
Asia Pacific businesses are investing more in digital than their counterparts around the world -- and realizing far greater rewards, according to our recent study. There's more work to do, however, to seize the full gamut of digital opportunities.
The seed stage of the venture capital industry went through a boom cycle from 2006-2014 but has lately seen a sharp decline. What's happening? Is it temporary or are their structural problems? This deck answers that question.

Kereitsu of modern times, Softbank has pioneered with its Vision Fund an Innovation at scale strategy powered by an agressive venture investments. It has thus opened an alternative way to GAFAM’s model that relied primarily on an organic technology model amplified by some bolt-on M&A.
SoftBank’s transformation case is in our view particularly interesting at a time when the European startups and innovation ecosystems need to catch-up with their American and Asian and many Corporates are entering in « coopetition » with Investment funds, launching or reinventing their ventures set-up in order to address their innovation at scale challenge.
For sure, like all disruptors Softbank has been somewhat extreme in its approach (especially in terms of risk aversion, fundraising, inflationary valuation) and not always exemplary in its practices (CSR, governance, financial disclosure...). Nevertheless we are witnessing some interesting read-across for European players, especially as vision, risk taking and entrepreneurial approaches are in our view critical success factors in the new economy.
Thus one of our wishes for 2020 is that some European Softbank may emerge and create a new way for innovation at scale.

The Evolution Of The On-Demand Economy PeoplePerHour
WE PREDICT THAT BY 2020, 1 IN 2 PEOPLE WILL WORK IN A FREELANCE CAPACITY
We are in the midst of the third revolution within the knowledge economy, the beginning of the On-Demand Economy, and it is drastically transforming how we transact with all aspects of the marketplace. The On-Demand Economy is revolutionizing the way in which individuals manage their daily lives, and interact with the labour market, but we are only just now experiencing the very beginning, by unlocking the potential of this new order.

Porous Organisations
Here is our latest 2030 foresight.
This time we focus on the challenges for the future of work. Increasing competition for talent forces organisations to open their doors to a growing number of independent workers. This makes it difficult to maintain corporate knowledge and becomes a challenge for business big and small. In a highly volatile and increasingly complex landscape, many must learn how to manage a seamless flow of knowledge and ideas so they can adapt to changing customer demands, ensure capabilities are maintained and keep the doors to innovation open. Looking ahead, it seems that only the wealthiest and most attractive organisations (in the main technology companies) will be able to retain the loyalty of their employees. For everyone else, building and preserving corporate know-how within increasingly porous organisational boundaries will become a priority. As ever your thoughts and provocations are very welcome.

2. Change is afoot in commercial real estate. Three megatrends — globalisation, demographic
change and flexible working — are expanding the universe of economic opportunity and
changing the way investors are thinking about the future.
Consider the pioneers of megatrends in the past such as Facebook, Uber, Instagram or
YouTube. If you knew then what you know now you would definitely have invested, right?
Here we explore the three main megatrends in commercial real estate markets and reveal
the implications for successful and profitable property investment in the current
economic climate.
3 GLOBAL MEGATRENDS
IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND
WHY THEY MATTER
3. Globalisation is being driven by the explosion of information flows, services and
know-how. And this is creating new opportunities for commercial real estate
investment strategies.
In fact, commercial real estate is healthier (and more global) than ever before.
Research suggests that global real estate investment could reach historic levels in 2016
at more than $1.1 trillion — an increase of 3 to 6% in local currency terms over 2015.
This globalisation of real estate is expanding investors’ appetites for new markets
and asset types, resulting in larger pools of capital on the move. And while core office
remains strong, traditional work environments are being challenged by new working
practices which have introduced the new asset class of co-working offices, becoming
increasingly popular in the international investment community.
Local knowledge remains critical in understanding market dynamics and despite the
tremendous flow of capital and information globally, it is still the key differentiator for
successful global commercial real estate investment.

4. Real estate usually is thought of in terms of buildings and addresses, but in today’s
world, we need to think about it in terms of people and their communities, says Melina
Cordero, America’s Head of Retail Research at CBRE. And these demographic realities
have major implications on commercial real estate as talent remains a key driver of real
estate decision-making.
According to McKinsey research, as the world continues to age, retiring and elderly
populations will drive significant urban consumption and housing growth. Yet, the
realities of an aging population also present challenges.
In contrast, emerging markets will not only feature younger populations but also see
the rapid expansion of the middle classes with implications for retailing and housing as
well as education and healthcare.
MEGATREND 2:
DEMOGRAPHICS
5. Demographic shifts will also drive the importance of the urban core, with working-age
populations, notably millennials and the ‘creative-class’, heavily represented in
city centres, driving demand for office, residential and retail asset classes, but is
equally impactful for industrial and logistics which benefit from adjacencies to
urban centres.
There are also trends affecting how we work that are filtering heavily into the office
sector of commercial real estate. The physical workplace is far more than just
furnishings and real estate; it is also about how people work and are managed,
the technologies that enable the work, and how businesses employs the workplace
for its own ends. Going further, the workplace even reflects forces of the larger social
and economic environment.

6. Advances in technology have given rise to a megatrend towards flexible working.
Organisations may currently enjoy being able to choose from a surplus of qualified
workers but in the coming years they will have to compete again for the best talent.
Businesses will have to focus on ways of keeping valued employees, while being more
sensitive to the preferences of existing and potential employees seeking improved
work flexibility.
The desire for more work flexibility is, in part, a reaction to megatrend 1 above -
globalisation. Working beyond normal office hours has become the norm for many
in order to coordinate with colleagues in widely differing time zones. Workers can’t
maintain these hours on a regular 9 to 5 schedule and attend to personal family
needs easily.
In terms of the effect of this megatrend on commercial real estate, the unprecedented
rise in demand for shared office facilities has led to the rapid emergence of a new type
of office space provider. In place of traditional office provision, co-working spaces offer
flexibility to workers in the freelance economy, particularly in terms of cost. Collaboration
and networking are easily facilitated in these new work environments, often available on
a pay-as-you-go basis allowing small enterprises to grow at their own pace.
MEGATREND 3:
FLEXIBLE WORKING
7. Responding to the seeming endless demand for co-working office spaces has led to
exponential growth in the sector. A perfect illustration of this is in the case of WeWork,
an international co-working space provider founded in 2010. In March this year,
WeWork was valued at an incredible $16bn on the strength of its third round of fund-
raising which was limited to institutional investors and private equity funds.
However, there are opportunities for retail investors to enter the co-working sector with
significant growth opportunities in the short to medium term. However, with co-working
currently highlighted as an investment megatrend, the time to act is NOW.
“The office market is evolving, as companies tailor their spaces and locations to better
suit the needs of employees, including more collaborative layouts and sites closer to
public transit routes.” CBRE
