We first started in 2010 as a 44-workstation coworking space.
1,000 square meters (a pretty big one to start from)

Then we grew.
Up to 6,000 square meters and more than 300 coworkers.

Local authorities started looking at us as the main partner
to produce innovation-driven content and to get in touch with communities
they are not able to reach.

This is how we did it.

First, with a calendar of events about entrepreneurship, start-up skills, and new technologies
and partnerships with stakeholders such as universities, incubators, work communities, local authorities and non-profit organizations.

Then, we understood the importance of cohabitation.
Toolbox Coworking turned into a multicentered structure.
We started hosting communities in our spaces each with their own knowledge, skills, and backgrounds but willing to share and mix with the others.

Simply put, we look like a nice cloud of fried eggs.
By adding communities to the net of people we turned into a creative hub for work,
a larger coworking ecosystem connecting people and communities. ———
Ours was a bottom-up strategy. We created the conditions for the ecosystem to grow autonomously.
——— Living together in the same shared space
makes cross-fertilization easier between coworkers and subcultures.
