Great to see the Mereseyway Innovation Centre reaching 85% occupancy in just over a year! Its not unusual for flexible workspaces like this to reach a stable occupancy (c.85%) in two years or more so it's impressive to see the Innovation Centre bucking the trend! ?? This should provide comfort to other local authorities that flex can flourish outside of city centres and I'd urge all local authorities to consider including flex within their town centre regeneration strategies. Such spaces are essential for the support of small businesses (which make up 99.9% of all UK businesses) and can play a crucial role in stimulating business growth, increasing town centre footfall and reviving old unloved buildings (often attracting grant funding for these very reasons). ?? ??

New (& very cool) MIT Sloan research by Christian Catalini, Maria Roche, and Alexander Oettl emphasizes the importance of physical proximity for knowledge spillovers among startups. Their study found that startups within 20 meters of each other in a coworking space have a higher chance of adopting similar technologies, highlighting the benefits of face-to-face interactions. This research is a great reminder of the value of early-stage interactions and how being close can lead to innovation and growth. As we navigate the in-office vs. remote work debate, this is a strong case for maintaining some level of in-person collaboration. Thanks for sharing, Kostas Stamatiadis! https://lnkd.in/emEsxdBW

Aric Austin is the co-founder and CEO of MyStorage Vietnam, a startup that turns unused or underutilized urban space into tech-enabled, hyperlocal storage for consumers and businesses. MyStorage is the self storage pioneer in Vietnam and looking to expand the concept into further countries in the Mekong. They are currently raising a seed round for growth! ????? How would you explain your job to someone outside tech? I am building one of the first self-storage companies in Vietnam, a country that is completely unfamiliar with the concept of self-storage. We are technology-focused to make the service appealing to the young, urban and extremely tech savvy population of Vietnam. ??? What's something about you or your job that would surprise us? I was in a train wreck in the Netherlands a few years back and was flung through the glass window into a nearby field when my rail car derailed and fell onto its side. Fortunately I came out relatively unscathed, but after an experience like that, all other challenges seem trivial. ??? What has been the biggest highlight of your career so far? Appearing on Shark Tank Vietnam, one of the most popular shows in the Vietnamese startup scene. It was an amazing experience to stand in front of the Sharks and pitch our business concept in Vietnamese, after which we got investment offers from 3 out of 5 of the Sharks. ??? What's your favorite movie/TV show?? One of the most amazing movies ever is Office Space, by Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis & Butthead To quote a famous reviewer, the film is “a comic cry of rage against the nightmare of modern office life.” The film uses Orwellian satirical techniques and offers up absurd aspects of office life. I can watch it over and over. ??? What's your go-to ice cream flavor? Hazelnut. However, there’s a cartoon I saw ages ago showing a kid at an ice cream counter holding an ice cream that looks like a brown hairy ball. The clerk behind the counter is saying, “You said you wanted vanilla? Sorry, I thought you said gorilla flavor.” Since that time, I’ve always wondered what that would taste like.
