Across 9 European countries and 14 cities, the initiative will provide 鈧�17 million of subsidised workspace and tailored coaching programmes.
WeWork, one of the leading global flexible space providers, has launched Growth Campus Europe, an initiative targeted to boost economic recovery across nine European countries; Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Norway and Czech Republic.
With the pandemic presenting huge challenges for growth-companies and stifling momentum, Growth Campus will provide 鈧�17 million of subsidised workspace, giving teams the ability to collaborate in-person and providing flexibility for employees as they embrace hybrid working.
The initiative is open to the entire start-up ecosystem – including accelerators and incubators, as well as social impact and non-profit organisations – and will provide exclusive access to educational programming and tailored coaching opportunities. WeWork will subsidise fees up to 50% for eligible members across designated WeWork locations in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Stockholm, Oslo and Prague.
