What is coworking and what are its advantages?

With the growing trend of remote work, different professionals have experienced the need for collaborative spaces to work and develop as professionals. In this context, the concept of coworking emerges. A workspace where freelancers and small companies can establish themselves and create relationships.

Coworking spaces are based on collaboration. Professionals can rent desks, meeting rooms, or other spaces, which they share with other professionals. This provides flexibility and access to a community that you wouldn't have in a traditional office.

Coworking originated in San Francisco in the mid-2000s. The first coworking space called Spiral Muse opened its doors in the valley. Since that day, this model has been replicated worldwide, experiencing exponential growth.

 

How does coworking work?

Coworking spaces are not only focused on providing a space to work. By accessing them, you'll have the opportunity to share the space with other professionals to build relationships and create synergies.

Therefore, coworking spaces perfectly adapt to new work models. With the rise of telecommuting, many professionals don't have a dedicated workspace. Coworking spaces are the ideal solution for working while being accompanied.
