Co-working Spaces In Pakistan

The first few years of every startup are crucial; sometimes it’s more about surviving rather than thriving. Due to financial constraints, many companies fail to develop their own office and hence lack the professional environment and exposure required for their company’s growth. In order to support the progressive growth of developing entrepreneurs and freelancers in Pakistan, several co-working spaces have developed.

A co-working space is an office environment shared by many people who are otherwise working independently. These co working spaces provide a solution to the home based businesses and freelancers who are in search of an adequate and reasonable office space. We have compiled a list of the co-working spaces available for businesses, individuals and freelancers in Pakistan:
