2 Coworking Spaces in Venice

About Venice

Built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, Venice is the capital city of the northern Veneto region of Italy. Internationally famous for its canals, its astounding history and its incredible sites, this city has no roads whatsoever. A tourist hub, it's being loved to death with ancient cobblestones being worn down by the constant rolling of luggage bags. Over 400 bridges can be walked over, cafes overflow with espresso drinking souls and now coworking venues have appeared in this city that has appeared in numerous literary works. The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there is plenty for the history buff to do a happy dance about. About 55,000 residents live in this ancient town that is cloaked in Renaissance and Gothic palaces, piazzas and squares and the incredible Campanile bell tower that offers views over the city's red roofs.

The economy of Venice has changed throughout its long life. Once the place were slaves were traded, in the Middle Ages it was a major centre for trade and commerce and today it's one of the most visited cities in the world. Italians have creative culture in their blood, from food to fashion, design to wine and there are plenty of innovative tech savvy souls lingering over espressos. Major tech players such as IBM and Apple are opening up new tech hubs alluding to the fact that there is loads of potential in the Italian market. The government is instigating new initiatives to make it easier for startups to "start up" in light of the fact that it has always had a reputation for being bureaucracy-heavy.

Venice may not be the tech hub on a par with Turin, Milan or Rome, but it does have its locals who have no desire to move from their beautiful home city, plus there are the meandering globetrotters with laptops in their backpacks that linger longer than they should in this stunning area. Coworking venues are giving them the space to mingle, to connect and to collaborate in one of the most beautiful cities Italy has to offer.
