The May 22 conference marks the 10th anniversary of the US-India Chamber of Commerce's flagship tech event, now featuring a new name and high-profile speakers from healthcare "double" unicorn ShiftKey and AI unicorn Kore.ai. Investor and CIO panels include leaders from the Mark Cuban Companies, AT&T Ventures, Amazon Business, and Fortune 10 Cencora.
Startup Grind calls itself "the world's largest startup community," with 600 chapters from Beijing to London to New York. Now a new chapter is set to launch in Fort Worth with a kickoff event on January 9—joining existing chapters in Dallas and Frisco.
The annual conference of the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers featured more than 700 leaders from universities around the world taking part in more than 140 breakout sessions. More than a year and a half in the making, it saw the presentation of honors and awards to 12 universities—including a key honor for UTD's Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which hosted the event.
Vari's new global HQ was designed by Dallas-based BOKA Powell. The company's goal: "continue to probe the future of how we work." With open stairwells inside and walking trails outside, getting up and about is encouraged. So is staying healthy: The new HQ is the third building in DFW to receive Fitwel certification for healthy workplaces, the company says.
"Most executives are still trying to figure out the future of work, the workforce, and workspaces—that’s where we come in," said Vari co-founder and CEO Jason McCann.
The new board is comprised of Margot Carter, president of Living Mountain Capital and co-founder of Cien; Ka Cotter, formerly The Staubach Company's top revenue producing broker; Russell Denson, chairman of Gulf Energy Information and director of Peerless Media; and Debra von Storch, longtime Americas Director for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program.
At a time when Venture X is planning to rapidly expand its footprint, the coworking company has teamed up with local workspace innovator Vari to furnish all of its new properties.
Vari broke ground for its new headquarters on Tuesday.
The plans for VariSpace Coppell represent its “disruptor” attitude: “It’s a purpose-built building for a company with a purpose,” says Design Principal Andrew Bennett at BOKA Powell.
We spoke with Vari CEO Jason McCann about the Coppell-based workspace innovation company's renovations, its new products, and how businesses can get ready for the new normal.
