Istanbul's Best Co-Working Spaces
Startups and entrepreneurship have begun to become very popular in Istanbul and many co-working spaces have opened in order for like-minded people to come together and work. Apart from offering offices for rent, co-working spaces hold events and workshops to promote creativity and new projects. We chose the best spaces where you can work and meet new people.
Atölye Istanbul
Bar, Restaurant, Pub Grub
The former Bomonti Beer Factory was converted recently into Bomontiada, including a concert hall, restaurants, shops, and the lovely co-working space Atölye Istanbul. The working spaces are in a post-industrial setting with modular furniture, while Atölye also holds weekly events such as 101 workshops, feedback sessions, yoga classes, and happy hours. Aiming to bring people together and enable collaborative projects, the space also provides a Makerlab with a range of digital and physical prototyping tools as well as offering venue rental opportunities for events that range from demo days to social gatherings. If all of that sounds interesting to you, consider becoming a part-time, resident, or closed office member.
Kolektif House
With three branches in Istanbul, Kolektif House has become one of the most popular co-working spaces with regular events. With services such as office massages, snacks, lounge areas, yoga classes, Monday breakfast, breathing exercises, and kitchenettes, Kolektif is anything but your regular working space. You’ll find plenty of potted plants and natural wood tables, as well as events that range from jam sessions to brunch, talks to after-work get togethers. Whether you’re looking to host an event, or become a member (including the Nomad, Fixed Table, Office, and Virtual office options) Kolektif House is an inspiring space for work not only because of its unique aesthetic but also because of the great people and events. https://instagram.com/p/BLK9HlsjM46/
Workhaus
If you’re looking for a simple rentable office space without all the events and extra perks, then Workhaus is your thing. An entire office complex is available for rent including co-working desks, serviced offices, and meeting rooms. The very modern space with glass-enclosed meeting rooms, industrial lamps, and minimalist furniture in demure tones is the perfect place for serious work and meetings. Workhaus also offers web design, graphic design, and trademark registration services. https://instagram.com/p/BGrS9wOEfWf/
Impact Hub
Impact Hub is a member based co-working space and event venue and part of a worldwide community of more than 13,000 entrepreneurs, freelancers, techies, consultants, investors, creatives, artists, and more. Their Istanbul branch is in the heart of the city’s business district and has four unique spaces where both small and large groups can meet for an intimate creative workshop or a high-profile launch. Membership is also quite unique because you not only have access to Impact Hub Istanbul, but also the strongly connected global network of entrepreneurial people (like yourself). Services also include a climbing wall, cozy reading corners, and privacy booths, as well as discounts for premium events/selected suppliers and a matchmaker that will guide you through the whole journey. https://instagram.com/p/BJPc6FZhSNU/
