New Tenants Hoopy Host Tokyo Conference

Hoopy are a software development consultancy firm and new tenants of the e-Innovation Centre.

However, they were not in the building long before jetting off to Tokyo, where they were hosting one of their regular international developer conferences – DevRelCon Tokyo.

This was part of an international series of conferences, started by Hoopy in 2015, for people who build developer communities and developer experiences.

At each event, they bring together practitioners to share through talks, training and networking. Speakers at the events have included Anil Dash, Jono Bacon, Bear Douglas, James Governor, Dr Sue Black, and others. As well as Tokyo there are also editions in London, San Francisco, and China.

So welcome, Hoopy. A great addition to the EIC family!

Interface NRM go on Knowledge-sharing Trip to Italy

EIC tenants, Interface NRM, recently took a trip to Padova in Italy to visit partner company Vireo SRL.

The UKAS and and ASI accredited certification body, went over to evaluate the way they carry out tasks and also so that the two companies could learn from one another. They also got the opportunity to attend a training session about how their certification database will work going forward.

Vireo SRL aims to offer the best environmental certification on the market, and since 2010 have progressively expanded their field of activity. During this time, they have established good partnership relationships with internationally recognised certification bodies such as Interface.

Aside from the evaluation and training sessions, we also got to visit some beautiful historic places and sample some great restaurants! We must also thank Vireo SRL for a very enjoyable time.”

EIC’s Water Cooler Moment!

In the continual effort to improve the tenant experience and in response to both a tenant survey and also requests during a hot period of weather, a new water cooler has been installed at the e-Innovation Centre (located on ground floor, level 0).

The water cooler is free for tenants to use 24/7, and in a bid to prevent waste, will require a user’s own cup or bottle.

On tasting the water from the cooler, EIC staff member Tony (pictured) said: “Now that’s some mighty fine tasting H2O!”

*Tenant notice – please do not use the water cooler to fill up kettles.
