There is little need to keep an after-six calendar. In Spaces, we encourage the millennial to seek the advice of the masters and for these seasoned practitioners to look at the up and coming generation as their partners. For the past ten years, Spaces has inspired corporate shakers, business nomads, freelancers, energetic entrepreneurs, international workers, mobile movers, project teams, start-ups and well-established companies,” Wittig added.

We have to be at the forefront of uniting these businesses to support their creation of an inclusive ecosystem and make it more viable.”
Wittig stresses that everyone that occupies Spaces is important. Spaces values people and ideas and has been redefining the way work is done. He said, “With a high growth of interest in the local scene, there is no doubt that this is just the beginning for Manila’s own community of thinkers, achievers and imaginers to come together and create ripples.”
