The Co-Spaces, a business incubator certified by Dubai SME, has launched WO-RK @Burjuman Metro in partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

The newly-opened co-working space, situated within the bustling Burjuman metro station, offers accessible, affordable workspaces to entrepreneurs.

WO-RK @Burjuman Metro, integrated into the RTA’s Dubai Metro network, provides a convenient workspace solution that eliminates the need for car commuting and last-mile transport.

This initiative not only helps reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions but also aligns with sustainable urban development goals, enhancing Dubai’s reputation as a forward-thinking city.

The hybrid workspace concept of WO-RK by The Co-Spaces addresses the evolving needs of modern workers beyond traditional office settings.

WO-RK in line with RTA’s strategic goals

The new co-working space at Burjuman metro station supports RTA’s strategic goals as part of Dubai Urban Plan 2040, which aims to position Dubai as the world’s best city for living by improving accessibility and fostering better urban integration.

“WO-RK @Burjuman Metro is the first location under our WO-RK by The Co-Spaces brand. It’s more than just a co-working space; it’s a hub for entrepreneurs to realize their business ambitions with the support and solutions we offer. This launch is a testament to our dedication to innovation, accessibility, and community well-being. We look forward to expanding this vision across Dubai’s mobility hotspots,” said Shahzad Bhatti, founder of The Co-Spaces.

Mohammed Al Hammadi, director of Commercial and Investment in the Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector at the RTA, remarked: “This partnership exemplifies successful collaboration between the RTA and the private sector, aiming for economic and sustainable prosperity. The choice of co-working spaces within the Dubai Metro network is ideal for entrepreneurs conducting business activities.

“The metro and public transportation accessibility eliminates the need for private vehicles. We are optimistic about this project’s success and anticipate expanding to other locations along the metro network and public transport sites based on the results.”

Designed to serve entrepreneurs

The 4,000 sq ft WO-RK @Burjuman Metro offers flexible workspace options, including private offices, meeting rooms, and open-plan areas tailored to various needs. The goal is to provide a versatile environment that promotes a healthy work-life balance for its members.

Additionally, the co-working space offers essential business support services, including assistance with obtaining mainland licenses, ejari, and business addresses. The incubator also supports business growth through educational and mentorship programmes.

Community engagement is a key focus at WO-RK @Burjuman Metro, with shared spaces designed to encourage social interaction, fostering connections through shared meals, meetings, and networking events.

The co-working space takes a holistic approach by organising various events, workshops, and classes to build a strong sense of community among its diverse members.
