Working as a freelancer in Sweden? Feeling lonely? Boy, have we got the list for you! YLC’s Danny Chapman gives us the lowdown on the top five places to find likeminded professionals and join their network!
Co-working spaces offer self-employed expats in Stockholm a way to make essential contacts, and perhaps more importantly, friends. Tenants or members get exposure to new networks and people working in all manner of sectors that they can learn and share from, as well as find new contacts and potential customers.
This is especially useful for start up businesses, and of course even more so for expats. Apart from sitting together and meeting in the kitchen areas, tenants at co-working spaces are introduced to each other by the organisers, who also often run formal and informal events such as business seminars, visits from outside inspirational talkers and social events such as rock climbing or lunchtime walks. These spaces can be anything from specific spots in a coffee shop to a more formal office where rooms or individual desks are rented out.
