The concept of coworking spaces has emerged ever since the trend of freelancing and the pandemic situation came to arise. Pakistan being the 4th fastest growing freelance market according to report by CNCB demands more workspaces. The capital, Islamabad offers around 50 shared workspaces for civilians to work in a peaceful environment and bring exposure to them.

Islamabad is home to many national and multinational companies. People from all over Pakistan come here to establish their businesses and startups in the privileged capital city. The new startups require workspace and a shared workspace is the best opportunity for them as it saves the hassle of renting and maintenance.

Why there is Need of Coworking Spaces?

Coworking spaces not only come with the space but also several other benefits. The opportunity of working in a pleasant environment along with the community provides both knowledge and coordination expertise. They are cost-efficient and provide more job flexibility and control.

The surge in remote and online working due to the pandemic plays a great impact on the increased demand for more coworking spaces. By the report of CNCB, before the pandemic, co-working spaces were the fastest-growing type of office space. Currently, they comprise less than 5% of the market; they’re expected to make up 30% by 2030.
