The rise of the new age working culture - coworking spaces - is evident. A significant number of new co-working spaces are popping up in Orchard, Lavender, East Coast, and especially in the Singapore Central Business District (CBD).
More people are choosing to work remotely from another country or are running their own small freelance businesses. Even some mid-size companies or teams within a large corporation find it easier to let a third party run their offices for them.
Select from well-funded, large co-working brands like WeWork from USA, to locally grown, regional names like JustCo, to dedicated hubs for creatives, fintech, health & wellness.
Whether it is the supportive community or connections you are looking to tap into, or the well-planned & designed inspiring workspaces, we have summed up the best co-working spaces in Singapore that are best suited for the busy woman. Read on to see which spaces have amenities designed with women's needs in mind.
