Co-Working Spaces, Sharing Economy, Business ModelsAbstract
Co-working spaces are an increasing phenomenon in most cities, with different formats, in some cases individuals look for a place to work on their computer for a few hours, while others assemble specific talent such as freelancers, entrepreneurs, students to socialize, foster collaboration between various disciplines to build a knowledge sharing community, and to create an environment to foster an ecosystem for innovation. This paper will contribute to the understanding of the motivations for joining new working landscapes, specific community-based enterprises as a co-working space, and the synergies of resources, talent and knowledge interacting to foster creativity and innovation.
