Discussions » 🇱🇺 Why Luxembourg's coworking sector is being held back (🔗 Visit source)
Patricia Casal Marques shares that even though "coworking spaces play a vital role in the development of the economy", local industry leaders still face struggles around flexibility and support.
In the piece the Luxembourg Workspace Association shares that after some preliminary research, there are just 56 spaces across the country. What's holding back growth, according to Gosia Kramer, founder of The Office coworking spaces is 3-fold: small market size, conservative approach of real estate sector and the huge bureaucracy required to set up a business.
It's also noted that government's unwillingness to cooperate with the sector is also an area of frustration. Claudine Bettendroffer, Country Leader of the Silversquare coworking space notes that under the current law, managers of coworking spaces need an 'establishment license'.
