A new opening that testifies to the growth process within the international digital innovation landscape, establishing itself as a solid and effective alternative in the new models of work organization imposed by the current crisis and the strong drive for digitization required: a proposal, to which many companies have turned to, capable of combining remote work with that in the office , amplifying the advantages, in total safety and with an investment logic in wellbeing and training of its employees.  The new coworking space Talent Garden Lille is located in the Westfield Euralille shopping center , a few minutes from Lille-Flandres station (Gare de Lille-Flandres).

The expansion of Talent Garden in Europe

The arrival in France is part of the international strategy undertaken by the company which led in October to the opening of the new Barcelona campus, an eco-sustainable building of more than 4,500 m2 in the 22 @ innovation district , in the Poblenou district.

Talent Garden: a reference point for the world of international innovation capable of combining the new working models imposed by the pandemic.

In the year of the pandemic, Talent Garden has managed to establish itself as a sure point of reference in the panorama of international digital innovation, proposing itself as a solid and effective alternative in the new models of work organisation imposed by the current crisis. “Over the past year, we have adapted our campuses to the new measures required by Covid 19 . Coworking spaces have become a safe alternative , consolidating themselves as the third option, between the office and remote work. When it came to reopening, guided by the importance of putting our community at the center, we focused on three key factors: cleanliness and safety measures, redesign of physical spaces and support for our community . These three points have been addressed with extreme caution and, since it is in the nature of both our spaces and our business model to adapt to different scenarios, we will continue to evolve and implement new strategies as they develop," Davide Dattoli continues. “The acceleration of remote work has brought with it an understanding of its benefits for both companies and employees. Companies need to invest even more in their employees, their development and their wellbeing than ever before. Talent Garden represents the multifunctional workplace of the future and not only for its ability to provide safe working environments, or its flexibility and low-cost options, but also for its culture of continuing education , innovation and sharing of knowledge with continuous reskilling and upskilling paths for its members."
