Acceler8, a workspace provider in the Philippines announced its recent milestone as it consolidates under the UnionSPACE brand.
Backed by two investors Kejora Ventures and Gan Konsulido, UnionSPACE plans to build more workspaces toward the end of year 2018. Kejora Ventures, a distinguished startup investor for the companies like Investree, Cekaja.com, Qareer & Pawoon recently invested US$ 100 million to Southeast Asian startups while Gan Konsulido is currently administrating Plug and Play Accelerator Program from Silicon Valley and was also appointed by President Joko Widodo during his last visit in the United States.
Co-Founder of UnionSPACE, Albert Goh says that there are new workspaces on its way in more than 20 locations. At the moment, we operate 5 centers in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. According to Goh, their main goal is to develop the startup ecosystems in Southeast Asian countries.
Mikko Barranda, Co-Founder of Acceler8 meanwhile explained that the rebranding and alliance of Acceler8 with UnionSPACE is one way of opening a portal for its clients to UnionSPACEs Southeast Asian reach. As we started this venture back in 2015, we are proud to be one of the only Filipino coworking operators to expand regionally taking us to the next level. Since we began, weve been consistently promoting Acceler8s campaign called Creating Real Connections and with this milestone, we are truly able to help companies expand their business across South East Asia.”
Acceler8 currently operates 2 centers in the Philippines and is now among the 20+ locations of UnionSPACE. It was launched and formalized in Jakarta, Indonesia last January 2018 with nearly 200 attendees mostly investors, startups and SMEs. They reiterated their goal to support all thriving startups and entrepreneurs in tapping business partners both locally and abroad that will lead to massive growth in business collaboration.
Since Acceler8 started, the team has been proactive in growing their network through its community and technology. The flexibility and functionality of our space organically attracts businesses to come in and meet the Acceler8 community. They also developed an online platform called Entreprenity that allows UnionSPACE members to share their business activities, innovations and collaborations. The platform is also designed to reserve facilities of UnionSPACE centers in Southeast Asiaproviding more exciting opportunities provided by the networks in Entreprenity.
Whats next for UnionSpace and Acceler8? We are excited to announce that we will be opening our next branch in Bangkok, Thailand by Q2 2018. Thailand is slowly becoming the center of digital nomads, start-ups and entrepreneurs and we want to be at the forefront in helping them grow their business as per Barranda.
