IWG aims to grow its Spanish network to 200 flexible-work centres
Swiss workplace operator IWG wants to double its Spanish network from 90 centres to 200 within a few years.
The company, which owns brands including Regus and Spaces, opened 24 centres in Spain in the first half of 2026.
It plans to expand in smaller cities and metropolitan areas, as well as in major centres such as Madrid and Barcelona.
Flexible offices let businesses rent workspace without committing to a fixed amount of space, which can be useful when their needs change.

The company will assess customer response before deciding how quickly to expand Humanly in Spain.
IWG says it has reached 5,000 coworking centres worldwide.
