We speak with 3 experts from the region about this. Some key questions include:

  • What is innovation to you?
  • What does an “innovative” office look like?
  • Is innovation technology, or something else as well?
  • (How) does the office design affect innovation?
  • What are some innovations that you predict the future office will (need to) have?

With our guest speakers:

  • James Woodburn, Head of Real Estate – Asia, WPP (Hong Kong)
