SESSION
12:30-13:30 (DK)
FRIDA FERDINAND, JACOB KUREK, RASMUS ØDUM & EMILIE BOYE KJÆR | OP- ELLER NEDTUR?
Nye tider kræver nye forretningsmodeller. Vi sætter fokus på internationale opkøb af danske brands som HLA, nye strategiske fællesskaber som Verka Collective og XPartners og start-ups som A Part of Sum, som alle søger grænserne for internationale og lokale samarbejder. Hvad bliver konsekvenserne for arkitekturen i et større perspektiv, og fra et kommercielt synspunkt? Sælges der ud af hovedstolen, eller er det bare arkitekturens tilpasning til en ny virkelighed, arkitekturens flexicurity?
Frida Fredinand (DK): Direktør for strategi og drift, Verka Collective
Jacob Kurek (DK): Administrende direktør, Henning Larsen
Rasmus Ødum (DK): Landechef, XPartners
