Coworking now looks to new horizons with ‘city as a campus’ trends and various locations throughout a city, as well as changes in the ‘hub and spoke’ model that began in the US in 2020.
In the aftermath of the 2008 subprime crisis, the eye was on tech companies, which looked like a promise of salvation from the future of a faltering global economy.
The new world was now in the hands of bold young men who circulated between glassed offices and modern coffee shops.
WeWork burst in in 2008 with a revolutionary way of working, and thus modern coworking spaces were born, full of lamps, minimalist designs, shared desks and overstuffed armchairs that were rented out to small and large entrepreneurs tired of "office culture." from the 80s and 90s.
The coworking segment worldwide is experiencing an interesting and reinventing moment, after the corporate and office sector was one of the hardest hit in the pandemic. To this Wework responded flexibly.
Companies are actively seeking flexibility and building their own hybrid model that is tailored to the needs of their line of business, the size of their company, their teams, the specialization of their employees and business needs.

The above, he affirms, gave the coworking giant in Mexico a great boost and growth in new members in Mexico, which reports between March 2020 and September 2021 more than 400%.
There is a constant trend of growing demand for flexible spaces that can be adapted, in real time, to the changing needs of companies.
To do this, WeWork launched its "All Access" program with which "You can choose any point. With a membership of 2,277 pesos per month, in practically three steps you have it all.
In the first, you have to choose the most convenient location for you; step two: reserve in advance through the WeWork e-commerce page which is the space where you want to work: if it is a common space; if it is a specific boardroom with a specific capacity, with a screen; if you are going to require a videoconference.
Step three is to access with your key, through a card and enjoy the spaces in the CDMX, Guadalajara, Monterrey, in Mexico or in more than the 700 locations that we have worldwide.
Companies also seek to adapt to the hybrid model that work is enhanced with a goal of collaboration, exchange of ideas and productivity, thus being true spaces for concentration and collaboration.

The company carries out special monitoring of ventures and so-called 'digital nomads', who only in Mexico stay between one and three months in one place.
We have a platform called WeWork Lab in which all our members have access and connect with other companies in the world.
This has been relevant for startups to be in contact with similar ones worldwide and with other members. This is something we spend a lot of time and discussion on.
The CDMX is of a level for the digital nomads. Still these nomads prefer to be in places like Playa del Carmen, Cancun, CDMX or Guadalajara.
He added that the firm also seeks to hold different networking events that “not only take place inside the building, but also connect with other startups in Mexico, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Colombia, Argentina or worldwide.
