Desk, chair, computer and table light. At Ikea, a minimum of office furniture is less than 100 euros. But of course, it's not the same to work alone as to work with other professionals, whether from your sector or not, with whom you can talk, establish synergies, create collaborations and have coffee at the door.

València is behind it with a firm commitment to making these spaces the base for technology companies and innovation entities.

The capital of the Turia already has 36 spaces at present, according to figures provided by València Activa. Las Naves, Wayco and GeeksHub are some of the best known.

In the presentation, its director, Marta Chillarón, explained the importance of the work as an innovation centre: "We have European projects with a budget of 3.1 million euros, local projects, a public accelerator of social innovation projects...
