Over the past year, coworking spaces seems to have upped their gear and are now a lot more aggressive and sustainable too. Recently, the Coworking Unconference Asia 2018 happened in Penang and brought in some 320 people from 35 different countries. We speak to Steve Munroe, Founder of Hubud (Bali’s First Co-Working Space) and Founder of CAPP (Coworking Alliance of Asia Pacific) to talk to us about the attraction of a coworking space, how they’ve made Bali a coworking destination for the world and why Malaysia is on their radar.
