Collaborative workspaces important for innovation
View(s):Collaborative workspaces are important to innovation, according to Udena Wickremesooriya, a Director of the Brandix-led Disrupt Unlimited. Mr. Wickremesooriya made this comment on the occasion of Disrupt signing up with international flexible office spaces company Regus, wherein Regus will “provide flexible office space solutions for start-up companies that are born out of the efforts of Dirupt Unlimited, a company set up to inspire and support the search for innovations that transform the way textiles and apparels are manufactured”.
A media statement from Regus also noted that, “(encompassing) selected Regus Centres in Sri Lanka, the agreement between the two companies envisages that Regus will provide fully-equipped office spaces, offer on-demand meeting room facilities, day office facilities and other services at special rates”.
Dr. Nirmal De Silva, Regus Country Head for Sri Lanka, commented that the “clothing industry has been a leading contributor to the national economy. We feel that this strategic tie-up would support in creating the much needed ‘eco-system’ for disruptive innovation to take place in the industry”. (JH)
