The entrepreneur community in Vietnam is one that’s rapidly growing, and with that comes an increasing amount of startups. Often times, working at a local coffee shop may be too crowded and the costs of renting an entire office building overshadow the benefits of the startup itself. Coworking spaces are designed for creators who are looking for a place to share new ideas whilst developing their businesses. Here are some of the best coworking spaces in Ho Chi Minh City:
The Hive
The Hive is focused on empowering innovative entrepreneurs and their startups. Anyone who joins this coworking establishment is joining a community that values creative work and the importance of entrepreneurship. Events such as the weekly Thursday Social at The Hive allows people in similar or different fields of work to make connections with each other. Every member of The Hive is provided with a “Hive Passport” which provides free access to other Hive locations in Singapore, Bangkok, and Hong Kong. The great thing about becoming a part of The Hive community is that they establish a network of connections across Asia, not just Saigon.
