What is Xindanwei?

The idea of Xindanwei ( literally means “ New Work Unit”) is to take both the best elements of a workspace (productive, functional) and the best elements of a creative hub (social, energetic, creative), and combine them together to give people the chance to have their own, affordable workspace. Xindanwei is built on the coworking philosophy and value, and is run in a style of ‘the club of creative workers’. Xindanwei isn’t just about sharing office space and desks. Xindanwei is a community of freelance professionals, start-up entrepreneurs, tech workers, writers, designers, architects, artists, students and others from overseas and China, whoever thinks working with others cool people are more productive, more inspiring and a lot more FUN! Xindanwei will provide communication tools, a platform for social and educational events, as well as a physical space to work，connect and collaborate.

What does Xindanwei believe in?

1. Collaboration – Meeting a diverse group of people with a wide range of knowledge is good.
2. Openness – Transparency and openness are important. We share ideas so all may benefit.
3. Community – Creating good social connections for business and personal life benefits us all.
4. Localism – Working among local people to get integrated with local community and help to break the cultural barriers.
5. Sustainability – Sharing resources is good for our local community and the planet.
6. Accessibility – Coworking spaces need to be affordable for a diverse group of people.

Who are behind Xindanwei?

A group of idealists and free thinkers.
