Chayora becomes a Capital Sponsor of Infrastructure Masons and leads its first APAC Region Local Edition event in Beijing
“Growth in the Chinese data economy continues to gather pace,” says Oliver Jones, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Chayora. “More data centres are expected to be developed in China in the coming years than in any other nation state and having a local industry professional networking group based on iMasons success in enabling professional sector development in the US and Europe involved will enable world class standards to be developed coherently within China and across the globe.”
There were two topics that stood out in conversation during the evening. First, the talent shortage. This includes the need for new and expanded education efforts to increase the pipeline of talent. Secondly, sharing best practices. This is bi-directional and will help members enhance infrastructure designs and deployments all over the globe. The iMasons community builds and operates the infrastructure for the internet of everything.
Dean Nelson commented: “A huge thank you to the attendees who joined Infrastructure Masons at our first event in China last week! Based on current initiatives and announcement, over the next 5-10 years there will potentially be more data centers built in China than the rest of the world combined. With that level of demand and investment, there will be many opportunities and challenges facing the industry and international businesses that want to be part of the journey. iMasons looks forward to continuing input and support from Chinese companies who are interested in furthering iMasons’ activities in China. “
Following the event with business leaders, iMasons leaders, together with further support from Chayora, held a great session at Tianjin Vocational Institute with an impressive audience of 500 students. As a result, iMasons is considering expanding the iMasons scholarship program to include the Telecoms and Big Data initiative they have established there.
