10 coworking: Haifa

Israel is already a well-established startup hub. And, although Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are renowned for the highest startup activity in the country, Haifa, with its industrious spirit, is also becoming an upward destination for startups, accelerators, investors, and coworking spaces. Haifa prides itself on inclusivity and is often called a powerhouse of northern Israel. Two major educational institutions, the University of Haifa and the Technion are situated in the city, ensuring superb recruiting opportunities and enlarging the city's startup community. Coworking venues in Haifa support innovations and productivity; they boost the thriving startup ecosystem and are represented in large quantities, making the flex office submarket in the city dynamic and vibrant. The country's authorities are very much involved in the development of the startup ecosystems in the Israeli largest cities, among which Haifa occupies one of the top places. The government has invested a lot in education, R&D, tech spheres, and innovation. It has plans to invest more than US$25 million into small and mid-sized businesses. Haifa is renowned for hosting Matam - the largest and the oldest tech park in the country; thus, it really makes sense for the investors to join a new chapter of the city's industrious legacy and open new coworking venues in Haifa.

To elevate and grow your project or a company in the city, one doesn't necessarily need to look for a luxurious, brand-new permanent office. Coworking spaces in Haifa provide businesses with refreshingly-designed rooms, spacious and comfortable open-plan work suites, all-inclusive facilities, and flexible tenancy agreements. The highest number of coworking spaces in Haifa emerged on the territory of the city not so long ago(in the period of approximately five years), but the scene continues to grow. Today, there are many cafes that support coworking in Haifa; hence, there are only a few official shared office spaces. Some of the most exciting and highly-competitive shared workspace solutions that have sprung up in the city are hiCenter(the first coworking suite, which appeared in the city in 2008), In-Vent, Wise Coworking, Regus, and, of course, WeWork, which opened its office here in 2018. With its big population of tech-savvy souls, who are top tenants in the coworking offices in Haifa, the city is a hotbed of opportunities related to running a business in technologies. Even a hot desk rental in the shared office facility will ensure the unique chance to enjoy being a part of the community already formed by giants like Microsoft, Google, Intel, IBM, Phillips, etc.
