Business networking is the action or process of interacting with other people to exchange ideas and information and develop contacts.
Creating a network of contacts among professionals who share similar ideas or projects is essential in the business world.
This task, like many others, has been affected by the context of the Covid-19 pandemic . Events, paused for a time, have become one of the main opportunities to build relationships among attendees.
In this article, we want to shed some light on this issue by discussing the advantages of business centers when creating a corporate networking strategy.
Business networking in business centers
Dynamic and collaborative spaces
Renting an office or coworking space offers the opportunity to share common areas , such as break rooms or terraces, where you can interact with other entrepreneurs, SMEs, or professionals from large companies.
A coffee can turn into a relaxed conversation about your professional projects, information about a vacant position at a company, or someone interested in collaborating with your business.
Getting closer to the foreign market
Many foreign companies use business centers to understand how the market works in the country they want to enter.
These spaces offer the flexibility of a short-term contract and the opportunity to interact with local businesses to gain in-depth knowledge of the market.
This also represents a great opportunity to network outside of Spain, raise awareness of your project, and even create strategic alliances.
Inspiration and creativity
Direct contact with people and companies in your sector or others encourages interaction and knowledge sharing.
It’s the perfect environment to surround yourself with stimulation and the energy of others. This exchange benefits both startups and more traditional organizations.
These are some of the advantages a business center can offer when launching your networking strategy.
And, although we are still in the midst of the pandemic, once it’s over, Ibercenter will resume organizing networking events regularly, at no additional cost when you book any of our workspaces, such as our offices in El Retiro .
