Lars Wittig, Country Manager of Regus and SPACES by IWG explained the innovative concept of Coworking with these flexible locations not only benefiting startups but also well-established organizations. The employees can retain the flexibility of working wherever they want, but also learn from, and establish strong networks with like-minded individuals. Coworking spaces also provide the opportunity for the people to be part of the community. They are able to interact and share ideas without any of the potential repercussion if you are working in a multinational organization.
