1) The evolution of Xindanwei Coworking Membership :
As a startup team, we understand the tight budget and hardship of the early stage entrepreneurs. That’s why we are introducing you to our new membership service: CHAIR MEMBERSHIP, which allows you to work in an professional and inspiring environment at the top location of the city at the cost of as less as 500RMB per month, while mixing with other like-minded people to make a difference. We will start the trial at Xindanwei Yongjia 50 and roll out to our three coworking locations in the soon future. Come to chair with us!

2) New categories of Xindanwei events:
New things are always happening here at Xindanwei. We’re growing at a rapid pace, and our commitment to openness, sharing, accessibility and large scale of collaboration continues. We have categorized all of our past community activities and events into some key domains here, which makes easier for you to navigate:

Co.Spark – Where art, culture, design meet.
Co.Uprise – Where entrepreneurs innovate and thrive.
Co.Impact – Where empathy and care changes the world.

3) New Community Consulting Service – “The Host“:
We thought you might also be interested to learn about the new community consulting service – “The Host” that helps the movers and shakers of creative, technology and social innovation scene like yourself to be provided with opportunity to seek out resonated spirits, share in rich discussions about creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and impact to the society and work on exciting projects together.

4) Xindanwei/Grasslands FULL house:
Our Eco-workspace has reached the full capacity last week. It has gathered a community of like-minded social entrepreneurs, freedom fighters, environmentalists, health advocates, sustainability consultants, wellness practitioners, and human-centered designers under one roof to create a green community for everyone to graze and grow. On top of the basic office services built upon Xindanwei’s sharing, connectivity and collaboration culture, Xindanwei/Grasslands also features a dozen reasons why working alone or in a traditional office kinda sucks.

Don’t be disappointed, very soon the chair membership will be available at Xindanwei/Grasslands, and you are always welcome to check out the weekly events organized by Greennovate and The Wellness Works.
