“Independent businesses are the lifeline of every community.” — Wilson Tang.
For this month’s Breakfast Show, we’re inviting you to a conversation on why coworking spaces are the beating heart of the local business.
May 10th is European Coworking Day, and we want to celebrate how coworking spaces add to the communities they are in, not just as a hub but economically, socially and culturally.
For this month’s Breakfast Show, we’re inviting you to a conversation on why coworking spaces are the beating heart of the local business.
– What lessons have we learnt since COVID-19 and lockdown?
– How do you support local entrepreneurs, micro-businesses and start-ups?
– How do you create your members and customers and then support them?
– How could your space contribute more to your local community?
