The global dynamics that we are currently experiencing, marked by the ease of movement of people and the flow of information, requires that, in today’s times, municipalities are capable of developing initiatives and promoting actions with a view to supporting the development of innovative ideas in the region, as well as how to attract new professionals.
Over the past few years, there has been an exponential growth in remote work, a trend that has also contributed to new employment opportunities, allowing, in many cases and even many companies, to decentralize the workspace of their employees.
The new modalities associated with remote work and cowork not only function as an opportunity to boost and promote the development of territories, facilitating the retention and attraction of people and companies, but have also contributed to democratizing access to work spaces with resources necessary for the development of new products and services. The creation of Set.Up Guimarães Cowork arises with the purpose of monitoring this global dynamic and, above all, of attracting and supporting freelance entrepreneurs and digital nomads to the municipality of Guimarães. Set.Up Guimarães Cowork is intended to be a shared space that can be adapted to the needs of those who seek it and, above all, a space capable of responding to the demands of the new configurations of the Portuguese economy.
The new modalities associated with remote work and cowork are an opportunity to promote the development of the territory and Set.Up Guimarães Cowork will function as a complementary space to the Set.Up Guimarães incubators, offering a collaborative environment, providing shared resources and reducing operational costs for entrepreneurs .
Set.Up Guimarães Cowork will have 40 jobs, divided between two hubs:
Set.Up Guimarães Cowork will support collaborative innovation and integrate Set.Up Guimarães (which, in terms of workspaces for entrepreneurs, only has large rooms), enhancing the networking network of entrepreneurs and startups and the creation of synergies that increase business scalability through a space with suitable conditions for the development of new businesses.
