    Work without borders 🚀

    In a world that’s more connected than ever, work no longer belongs to a single desk or a fixed location. Digital nomads, global startups, freelancers, and expanding companies are all breaking boundaries. Enter the concept that’s transforming the way we work: the international coworking space.

    • Work is no longer tied to a single location: international coworking spaces let you stay connected and productive anywhere in the world. 
    • Flexibility, global reach, and community are at the core of these workspaces, supporting digital nomads, startups, and expanding companies alike. 
    • Spain is a rising hub for international talent, offering an unbeatable lifestyle, strong connectivity, and a thriving entrepreneurial scene. 
    • Lexington’s coworking spaces in Madrid and Barcelona are designed for businesses that want to connect with an international community.

    What are international coworking spaces?

    An international coworking space is more than just a shared office. It’s a flexible, globally-minded environment designed for teams and professionals who operate across countries and time zones. These spaces make it easy to work from different cities while maintaining a consistent work philosophy: open, dynamic, and collaborative.

    The rise of international coworking spaces

    With globalization, remote work, and business mobility on the rise, international coworking spaces have exploded in popularity.

    It’s no longer just about finding a desk; it’s about becoming part of an ecosystem that supports creativity, networking, and business growth.

    Because flexibility and global reach aren’t a luxury anymore, they’re essential. Choosing an international coworking space means you can stay productive anywhere, adapt to new markets, and surround yourself with people who are building cross-border projects just like you.
