2 Coworking Spaces in Perpignan

About Perpignan

Sitting on the border with Spain near the Mediterranean coast, Perpignan has a Catalan heart that you will see in its medieval core. The Pyrenees surround this town of cobblestoned alleys, shaded squares and buildings painted in lemon, peach and tangerine hues. Known for its festivals, Perpignan is a party town. Once the capital of the County of Roussillon and the continental capital of the Kingdom of Majorca in the 13th and 14th Centuries, its power stretched as far as Montpellier and included all of the Balearic Islands. Today you can still see the Mallorcan kings' palace standing guard at the southern end of the old town. Coworking venues have come to this ancient city that has a population of around the 118,238 mark, as many of its locals have no intention of leaving its outdoor cafe sipping culture.

The French tech scene is booming with many global eyes keeping a keen eye on what is happening in the baguette and cheese eating country. Many founders are taking advantage of the low cost of tech talent plus the financial incentives, such as the "credit impot recherche" (tax credit on research and development) offered by the government. In recent years early growth seed funding rounds have tripled and there is a shift in how young French startups operate with quicker movement from research to market happening.

Perpignan is no high tech hub such as Toulouse, but it does have its fair share of intrepid souls slugging away in coworking venues to bring their visions into the world of reality.
