OPEN designs, builds and manages inspiring spaces to work, meet, learn, collaborate and hold events. The newest addition, OPEN Sandton joins two existing co-working spaces, OPEN Maboneng in Johannesburg and Workshop17 at V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, which have redefined work spaces as flexible, multi-functional places for working, connecting, developing and creating. OPEN has built partnerships with more than 50 ecosystem players who are supporting and developing entrepreneurs and innovation. OPEN is a home to these networks that provide value to OPEN's members as well as the wider community outside OPEN.
