Ecosystem Collaborators

Powering change through collaboration in the built environment

As the built environment faces increasing pressure to become more sustainable, efficient, and resilient, collaboration has never been more critical. The GEAR is actively curating a diverse and forward-thinking network that spans the entire value chain — from construction, real estate and engineering providers, government organisations, investors and digital solution providers. By joining this network, members will be part of a community that is shaping the future of how we design, build, work and live.

This initiative facilitates The GEAR and our members to mutually support each others’ innovation efforts, through sharing resources, exploring synergies, and collaboratively driving meaningful change across the sector.

Ecosystem Collaborators enjoy a range of exclusive benefits designed
to foster visibility, engagement, and innovation.
