The Irish government launches a 5 Mio € support call to boost the coworking offering in the countryside
As one of the most willing authority in Europe in terms of supporting the development of rural coworking, the Irish government launches a 5 Mio € support call to boost coworking in the countryside. Dublin plans to fund remote hubs in rural towns and villages over the next two years as part of a State strategy on remote working. This ambitious policy worries some of the private co working operators, though. Coworking Europe offered this interesting Round-Table between representatives of the Irish Government and the Ireland Coworking Association. Learn more about the Irish case here.
