History of Travel

Coworking is a work style, where people with different professions and jobs get together to share the work place, and share, through active communications, knowledge and information for the betterment. “co” ＋“ working” ＝“ coworking” 　→　 Working together

This kind of work style started in the USA in 2006. Lots of people then called it “ a new way of working”. The fact is even before 2006 there had been people who worked in “coworking” style”. I therefore think that coworking is a global “new movement” triggered by a new label, “coworking”, put on that kind of working style.

What is Coworking?

Work experiences at a big company, venture businesses and as a freelance

Why some people say “I’m fed up with this company”? I saw many people playing chess in the daytime along the roadside in

Asia What is happiness or successful situation in life Guests meets by chance at paxi house tokyo, and start their business

together Is there any working place where 100 % of the people are smiling?

And finally I found out such places already exist in the world!!Encounter with Coworking

Aim of Coworking

Coworking connection to the world

In July 2010, almost nobody knows about coworking nor Jelly.

I had the first Jelly next month, and little by little more people got to know about this new way of working. 独

I was not sure if Coworking became popular or not, but I thoght PAX Coworking can, and should be, the special place to connect with other coworkers all over the world. Beginning of 2011, I visited Vietnam and Taiwan, and gave advices to the Jelly founder and potential coworking owners.

PAX Coworking was the only one which joined European JELLYWEEK outside of Europe.

This makes the JELLYWEEK worldwide. I assumed the post of the first JELLYWEEK Ambassodor in Asia.

Coworking was not known in Tokyo. We set up the event with the keyword “new style of

working” from “New York” 100 seats became full in 24 hours. This was the first day many people recognize the

word “Coworking” in Japan.

Tony visited Tokyo

After the last train… Tony visited Japan on private. KaraOK ( 노래방 )

Coworkers worldwide began

taking much notice of Japanese Coworking

Tony Bacigalupo is a co-founder and the Mayor of one of the most famous coworking spaces in New York.

K: See you again in Tokyo. T: It would be difficult. I have a packed

schedule.

Tony came to Kyodo

T: I’m tired of ultraconservative meetups. T: I cannot forget the KaraOK night.
