What Is Coworking?

Coworking is sharing a workspace that provides a creative environment to focus and feel inspired. The energy of a vibrant space and access to a community of like-minded self-starters encourages creativity, innovation, courage, and opportunities to learn.

Coworking is the practice by which professionals or a small team who do not necessarily share a company or organizational sector, come together to work together in the same space. They can simply enjoy being around the energy of others, or they can engage and contribute value to each other’s personal and professional development.

While the main objective may be to have a space away from home to focus, or to be in a space to relate to others with similar motivations, one of the largest benefits of a coworking space is the significantly reduced expenses and bills associated with it. A coworking space provides a much more competitively-priced infrastructure than leasing or owning an office. It also eliminates the distractions and lack of tools created by working from home.

Coworking spaces offer workstations, private offices, meeting rooms, and informal conversation areas where members can meet with clients or colleagues and have a place to separate work and personal life. It is the ideal setting to interact with other professionals and share a project or a good coffee.

Finally, coworking spaces and their vibrant environments are sought to be somewhat "unique" — leaving behind the typical office furniture and demotivating rooms — instead providing a multi-functional place where cross-cultural interactions can thrive.
