Rome is a metropolis with a population of almost 3 million people. With a “global city” status, it annually attracts millions of tourists as well as business proprietors who choose it for their business location. Besides tourism and its sub spheres, the economy of the city boasts such fields as engineering, aeronautics, IT, research, banking, etc. Rome occupies a strategic location in the central part of the country and is easily accessible by different means of transport. It is a hub for international education, hosting a variety of colleges, universities, research centres and academies. Thanks to a great workforce pool, and the support from the local authorities, the Italian capital has become a profound area for the development of startups in recent years. In its turn, it led to the extension of the coworking office space market in Rome. The coworking spaces in Rome can be divided into three main categories according to their purposes in the social and economic structure of the city. The first class is a so-called social incubator, having the educational role and linking to the regional authorities. The second caters to the possible future entrepreneurs, offering technical and financial support. The last is mainly a commercial product.
