More than two million people around the world have worked from coworking spaces in 2019, a number about 100 times higher than the 21, 000 in 2010, says a report by Statista. Before the coronavirus outbreak, the coworking experience was steadily on the rise worldwide not only for freelancers and startups but in some cases even for investors and larger companies looking to become a part of an innovative community.
