Co-working is defined as a self-directed, collaborative, flexible and voluntary work style that is based on mutual trust and the sharing of common core values between its participants.
The co-working space hosts companies, startups and freelancers active in different fields of ICT.

With co-working spaces, you pay for a membership, either for a choice of seating options every day or a dedicated desk. There are even offices available at many co-working companies.
