Mikko Barranda, Acceler8 by UnionSPACE CEO and Co-Founder explained that the rebranding and alliance of Acceler8 with UnionSPACE is one way
of opening a portal for its clients to
UnionSPACE’s Southeast Asian reach. Furthermore,
Acceler8 have recently added business
solutions and consultancy to their services that will further provide
accessibility to support their clients’ needs. They also developed an online platform
called “Entreprenity”, which allows UnionSPACE members to share their
business activities, innovations and collaborations. The platform is also designed to reserve
facilities of UnionSPACE centers in Southeast Asia.

And to mark this major milestone and the great things it’s about to unfold for the community, Acceler8 by UnionSPACE is set to host a series of exciting initiatives to go beyond their connections.
This
will kick off with a month-long exhibit entitled, “This is US: Celebrating Diversity
Through Local Eyes” in collaboration with “Juan Portrait” – a Filipino organization of volunteers from all
walks of life banded by community-driven
causes. The exhibit will feature portraits and landscapes that
re-introduces the different local cultures and depicts diversity as a core
strength.
I happen to visit the photo
exhibit before it officially opened to the public in the evening of March 16.
This was indeed a commendable project for a cause. Visiting guests can support this noble project
by having their photos taken and printed in exchange for donations to fund
their future projects.
Here’s some of the photos I captured:
Mr. Barranda added:
Diversity is a true driver in emerging economies. Not only does it allow for exchange of ideas, technology, and best practices, it also fosters better collaboration, communication, and understanding of each other. That’s almost always overlooked which is why it should be celebrated all the more
The
exhibit runs from March 16 to April 19,
2018 at Acceler8’s 111 Paseo (Legaspi Village, Makati).
Other
events will take place along with the exhibit throughout the exhibit run. Among
these is the Eureka Series entitled Poblacion Re-Imagined: Stories Behind
Reinventing the Neighborhood on April 19. Acceler8 will be bringing in
the minds behind Poblacion’s thriving scene for a forum during the closing of
the exhibit.
