1 Coworking Spaces in Valdosta

About Valdosta

A city in Lowndes County of Georgia, Valdosta is home to the regional university "Valdosta State University" that is spawning tech savvy youth onto its streets and into coworking venues where they are mingling with seasoned IT professionals and other likeminded graduates. Known as the "Azalea City" due to the preponderance of the plants in the city, Valdosta has a virtually flat landscape that was once a major cotton growing area. The city's economy is based on tobacco, pine timber and pulpwood plus naval stores (products derived from pine sap - think lubricants, linoleum, soap, paint and roofing materials). It has an historic downtown area awash in local businesses plus a regional mall overflowing with national chain stores. Its population of about 56,481 can be found hanging out at the Wild Adventures Theme Park or the Splash Island water park in the summer months, those into nature will linger on the boardwalk of the wetlands in the Grand Bay Wildlife Management area and the creative IT tech savvy souls will be bunkered down in a coworking venue.

Georgia has a thriving tech hub and community of inventive souls dipping their imaginations into many areas from health IT to cybersecurity and fintech with a growing trend in new fields where culture and tech collide. Its cities are marketing themselves to attract new talent, venture capital dollars and international attention. There are numerous homegrown companies such as "Sprinrilla" catering to young rappers with its hip-hop streaming platform to "Hi-Rez Studios" (a developer of games) stepping up its global profile.

Coworking venues are one more step in the ecosystem that is giving its creative souls the space to hang out and mingle in utter bliss.
