EVENTS

I-Suite London The third event in our London I-Suite Series, “Incubate to Accelerate” took place on February 7 at the Fuse innovation space at Allen & Overy in London. I-Suite was founded by Global Occupier Services’ Alister Yearley & Charlotte Gannon , and it now incorporates representatives across all Cushman & Wakefield service lines. The “Incubate to Accelerate” event explored the growing number of corporates seeking to harness the potential of start-ups by creating corporate incubator programs and innovation spaces. Corporate incubator programs support start-up companies at an early stage by giving them access to expertise, mentoring, physical workspace and (sometimes) investment. The conversation concluded with a lively Q&A session. The panel was moderated by Charlotte Gannon .

Following the panel discussion, guests were invited to participate in a networking mixology class. Breaking into teams, attendees had to work together on various activities – a quiz, a taste test and then they were asked to create their own bespoke cocktail complete with name and theme. The final creations were presented for judging by Ed Neild , Head of Client Solutions. Amongst the guests were representatives from RBS, AXA, Derwent, Legal & General, McDonald’s, Morgan Stanley, and Salesforce.
