Many of the well-established providers in the flexible office market such as Regus and WeWork boast a huge network of spaces across the globe, and an increasing number of providers are beginning to branch out internationally. Alongside this expansive catalogue of spaces, providers are also offering memberships that enable users to access this global network. This has significant benefits for members in need of a place to work for a few hours or days whilst on a trip abroad. It provides a productive environment away from the hustle and bustle with access to secure wi-fi and key amenities.

 

In addition to the provision of a workspace, it also opens up access to a network of global talent for members to potentially collaborate with. For companies looking to expand internationally it creates the opportunity to network with local business owners and gain a better understanding of the market and receive insightful advice, as well as establish strong contacts. We’ve rounded up a few of the flexible workspace providers that offer a global membership.
