On the other hand, the Deputy Mayor of San Pedro Javier García commented that the opening of this coworking centre was excellent news for the area, as it will attract companies and entrepreneurs. “All this talent will create wealth and generate employment, which will be beneficial for all the citizens of San Pedro Alcántara”.

Cristóbal Garre, Councillor for Commerce, Economic Development, Employment and SMEs for the Marbella Town Hall added that “Marbella is a town which encourages entrepreneurs and San Pedro also has a lot of talented business people, so we’re very happy to see this type of business opening in the area.”

He also commented that they were very pleased that San Pedro had been chosen for this new project, as it would allow companies and startups to establish themselves in the area. He ended by wishing We Cowork a lot of luck with the project and hoping that the expansion of the centre would start very soon. 

Along with representatives from the local authority, the Owner and Founder of We Cowork Antoine Montadon, Office Manager Aneta Domagala Clarke, and Business Development Advisor and Blockchain Specialist for We Cowork, Carlos Fernández was also present. 

Carlos Fernández explained that We Cowork’s mission is to, “provide companies, freelancers and entrepreneurs with collaborative workspaces at affordable prices, so they can focus all their time and energy on their business. We take care of any other associated services they need to develop their business, promote collaborations between the members and offer further support such as networking, events, training, and local contacts to give them the maximum chance of success. In addition, we can support companies looking to set up their businesses in Spain by offering advice and practical assistance.” 

With the opening of centres such as these, San Pedro Alcántara is becoming a strategic and relevant area for entrepreneurship on the Costa del Sol.

We Cowork has invested 70,000€ in the initial phase of development and predicts another 70,000€ of investment will be required for their expansion plans to create more offices and an organic café on the site. They are creating employment thanks to the construction of the office space and café and hope to create four full-time positions in the centre by the end of the year.
