Opportunities At The Intersection of People & Ideas: Coworking Spaces in 2020

Gone are the days when the routine activity of being at office was associated with plain rooms, specifically demarcated territory and micromanagement of those within. Coworking areas have proven to be the future of office atmosphere. A space which allows unique individuals to come together and work in unison.

Now a technical professional working in one firm can work on the same floor as an artist from another, or business leaders from separate firms can


bounce ideas off each other. In other words, we have an intersection of people working on individual goals whilst simultaneously being exposed to new experiences. These spaces provide for a wider understanding of diverse fields. At the same time, they offer a window into the broader picture of how different industries work, with information and perspectives to be learnt from. All this within the comfort of the same floor!
