IDEA Spaces was established in 2014 to redefine the traditional work experience, blending modern coworking spaces with a community-driven ethos. With four strategically located hubs across Lisbon, we cater to a vibrant and diverse membership of over 3,000 individuals and 390 companies. At IDEA, our mission is simple yet profound: to create an environment where people can experience happiness at work as never before, improving their overall quality of life.
At IDEA Spaces, we provide more than just a workspace, we offer an environment designed to meet the diverse needs of entrepreneurs and businesses. Our facilities include coworking areas, private offices, meeting and conference rooms, lounges, kitchenettes, terraces, rooftops, parking spaces, lockers, and restrooms, ensuring a seamless balance of comfort and productivity. To support our members, we deliver a range of services such as administrative and technical assistance, operational and convenience solutions, and technology support. Our commitment to fostering connections is reflected in our community-focused offerings, which include social and networking events, workshops, and personalized member introductions. Together, these elements make IDEA Spaces a hub for growth, collaboration, and success.
Our team works actively to connect members by understanding their needs and expectations, fostering both professional and personal relationships. By understanding what each member is looking for, we facilitate meaningful interactions that often lead to networking opportunities and business partnerships but also genuine friendships.
Throughout the year, we host many social and business events, such as community hours, workshops and meetups, creating opportunities for members to collaborate, grow, and enjoy a sense of belonging.
We prioritize sustainability through initiatives like waste separation, using 100% green electricity, managing lighting with sensors, and ensuring our air conditioning systems automatically switch off outside working hours. Looking ahead to 2025, we're committed to deepening our efforts by collaborating with consultants to achieve B Corporation certification, further embedding sustainability into our operations and ensuring long-term positive impact.
Our decision to join the Swedish-Portuguese Chamber of Commerce stems from our commitment to fostering connections within our multicultural community and supporting our Swedish members. This partnership strengthens ties between Swedish and Portuguese businesses, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration. It also offers our Swedish members a valuable platform to expand their networks, access local opportunities, and thrive within our diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem.
