The last two weeks were intense, as I had lots of materials I wanted to read prior to the two bootcamps. Danske IDéer 2017 kicks off on Tuesday, and I am now reading up on exponential technologies, and how they might affect our society moving forward. Once I dive into a topic, I can easily sit in front of my laptop screen for 13 hours straight – time just fly by. It is, therefore, important to me that I get out of the apartment and work from different places, so I won’t take root in my office chair at home. This week I went to four different places:
SingularityU Copenhagen: This is a new space that just opened up this week! It is going to be a new innovation hub, and it seems to be very promising. I visited my friend, Jesper, at Ideanote, and got a small tour around the place. It is a vast space with more than 5000m^2. The place is committed to making a positive difference by creating initiatives for entrepreneurs and students for impact activities. Awesome! I have the feeling this is not the last time, I will enter this building.
SOHO: Wednesday, I had a presentation at 10 AM for the Bestseller Foundation on the strategy moving forward with the African company Ogojiii. I really like SOHO (Small Office Home Office) due to the diversity of people and companies. I found a spot on the first floor and began to read about the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”.
The Black Diamond: I love working from here. I often used to go here to study for my exams. The vibe is great, and their reading rooms allow me to sit down and focus. There are two reading rooms in the building: East with 142 seats and Noth with 99 study desks. The only downside is the opening hours, as they close at 8 PM. My stomach does appreciate it, though, so I will head back home to raid the fridge.
CIID: Today, I am working from Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, where I am visiting my two friends David and Asger at M-Payg. It is great to be able to catch up with friends and work at same time.
Wish you all a lovely weekend!
Enjoy the upcoming bootcamps. Give yourself some “down” time as well so you can reflect on all that you are absorbing. ?. V
Thank you so much, Vinod! Writing my diary helps! Today is Sunday, so it is time for my weekly reflection! Hope you are having a lovely weekend. 🙂
