Salento is not you just a place for vacations: If you come to Salento for work, here is a series of coworking spaces to have all the services of an office (and beyond) and to make your local work network.
Over the past few years, a number of regional and European calls for the enhancement of the territory and the business growth in Apulia gave way to the emergence of a constellation of innovative start ups, operated by under 40.
This explains why, in this land defined as the “Italian Start-ups Silicon Valley”, they organized an interesting number of workshops and seminars on business planning, participation in European calls, creation of youth enterprises etc.
Among the “homes” of most of these events, we find former industrial buildings and ancient dwellings entrusted to associations that have made, libraries and areas of study co-working spaces out of them.
If you are coming to Salento for work and you’ll need a place with wi-fi, printer, desk, meeting and coffee room, you will find this list very useful.
