7. In these years
We became the focal point in Turin
for the future of work and for
• Freelance culture
• Entrepreneurship culture
• Cross innovation
• Maker culture
• Graphic Design culture
• IoT & AI innovation
• Social Innovation
• Culture innovation
8. Local authorities
started looking at us
as the main partner
to produce innovation-driven content
and to get in touch with communities
they are not able to reach.
10. First,
with a calendar of events
about entrepreneurship, start-up skills, and new
technologies
and partnerships
with stakeholders such as universities,
incubators, work communities, local authorities
and non-profit organizations.
13. Then,
we understood the importance of cohabitation.
Toolbox Coworking turned into a multicentered structure.
We started hosting communities in our spaces
each with their own knowledge, skills, and backgrounds
but willing to share and mix with the others.

20. Simply put, we look like a nice cloud of fried eggs.
By adding communities to the net of people
we turned into a creative hub for work,
a larger coworking ecosystem connecting people and communities.

Ours was a bottom-up strategy.
We created the conditions for the ecosystem to grow autonomously.
