Ottawa’s on-the-go entrepreneurs will soon have free access to office space in major cities across the world.
WeWork, which operates almost 500 co-working spaces in more than 100 cities around the globe, announced Tuesday it’s partnering with Invest Ottawa and its regional counterparts in Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto and Montreal to offer complimentary access to its offices and services.
The “startup passport” program will entitle startups associated with Invest Ottawa to free access to any of the company’s workspaces – in addition to the perks and member network that comes with being a WeWork member – once per month. After the complimentary use, entrepreneurs can book workspace for a standard fee.
