Today we talk about the work of freelancers, professionals, digital nomads and sturtups connected to the new spaces and facilities put in place by Copernicus to meet the needs of its smart workers.
Statistics indicate that self-employment is steadily increasing. This is because the past 10 years have witnessed in America as well as in Europe a radical mass transformation: that from employees to freelancers.
A couple of years ago an analysis by Edelman Intelligence for the Freelancers Union and Upwork networks estimated that just under one-third of U.S. workers could already be considered freelancers. There are 53 million freelancers in the U.S. today, and the number is expected to increase exponentially to 50 percent of the workforce by 2020.
This leads to the rise of coworking spaces, which are growing rapidly around the world, becoming the go-to place for freelancers.
If you are also in the freelance category, you will have repeatedly realized that working from home can be beneficial (financially and in terms of privacy), but it can also leave you isolated and subject to distractions that can affect your productivity. Just based on these theories, you may have repeatedly wondered what it would be like to work in a dedicated smart working space.
The advantages are many, and among the predominant ones is definitely the connection to the community of other freelancers and professionals like you as well as theeconomic level aspect (in a coworking space the price for office space is much less than what you would face in taking over an office).
Copernico, still the largest platform for smart working in Italy, with over 60,000 square meters of space offers its freelancers many amenities including restaurant, park, lounge, theater and gym. The additional possibility is that you can also make use of Copernico's spaces in the other locations scattered throughout Italy depending on your business trips or travels.
Copernico was first established in Milan, the fashion capital city, in 2015 with the Copernico Centrale MainHub in the vicinity of the train station. Centrale in name and in fact: today it still includes more than 1,300 members and 280 companies. Copernico's presence in Milan currently includes as many as 8 buildings with one ClubHouse (Brera), four MainHubesthree MiniHubs.
ClubHouse Brera, located in the heart of the city and instead a member clubwitha diverse and stimulating business community. An elegant and chic space where you can meet clients for a business lunch or an important meeting and take advantage of all the services provided by the facility.
Blend Power in Piazza IV Novembre 7, in addition to being "literally" in front of Milan's Central Station, gives the opportunity with its eleven floors of offices, to have meeting rooms and lounges available in a context that speaks to a new way of working.
The new location in Martesana, is at the center of the new revaluation of the North Milan area. Convenient for being located on the main entrance street to the city with a large air parking and railways nearby, the MainHub comprises 6,500 square meters of space in three separate but interconnected buildings where sociability and sharing are breathed.
Copernico Tortona 33, in one of Milan's coolest neighborhoods, is a dynamic space where the meeting is held in the lounge, the call is made in the phone-boot, the aperitif at Me.nu, the smart working café Copernico (menu.copernic.co); all in an environment of natural materials thanks to the use throughout the building of Airlite paints.
Last but not least, Copernico Isola for S32: in the heart of the neighborhood that has best reborn and reinvented itself in recent years, Isola. This is the physical headquarters of Milan's Fintech District, which was created with the aim of creating an ecosystem specialized in financial services technologies (a project promoted by SellaLab, an innovation platform of the Banca Sella Group and Copernico).
Copernico Torino Garibaldi, Copernico Roma Barberini and D'amico we let you discover them on the coperni.co portal.
