Co-working space has reached Penang
Co-working is a global movement to create innovative, collaborative and community driven workspaces that move beyond traditional work environments. Stop working alone – work for yourself, not by yourself.
In recent years, co-working space has been emerging as a new trend in Asia. This is supported by the rapid increase of remote workers and changing working styles, as new generations seek more flexibility in their job.
Co-working spaces are also sprouting up in Malaysia and a new player has just joined the fray in Penang. Located at the heart of Georgetown, disruptive co-working space Scoopoint offers amazing working environment and facilities. It is also a platform to live up to one’s passion, network, collaborate and inspire one another.
Penang is such a wonderful place to live, work and play. Unfortunately, many Penangites have left the beautiful island because of limited resources for career development, business advancement and chances of starting a business. Scoopoint aspires to change this perception to help Penang retain its talents.
Scoopoint founder Mei Tan said, “We connect entrepreneurs from different backgrounds and industries. We create a platform for them to collaborate, create opportunities and grow together as a strong and positive community here in Penang.
“We also provide creative and consultation services, such as branding, advertising design, social media marketing, estate planning and funding options to bring their business to the next level.”
“We have an in-house team with almost eight years of experience in the branding and advertising fields.We also provide consultation servicesby working closely with our panel of advisors, such as BrandYourself Agency, Asia Green Group, StayHi Social Media Marketing and InSync Group,” said Mei.
