Berlin’s Newest Co-working Spot, Mindspace, Comes of Age
Mindspace, a Tel Aviv-based company, has expanded its co-working space operations to Berlin, offering a unique environment that caters to both startups and established businesses. With 85 to 90 percent of its space dedicated to private offices, Mindspace differentiates itself by providing 24/7 access to members and fostering a community through events and collaborations. Despite Berlin's reputation for affordability, Mindspace's fees are seen as reasonable when considering the costs and commitments of traditional office spaces. The co-working industry in Berlin is growing, with over 70 spaces now available, indicating a shift in preference for flexible and community-oriented work environments.

Empowering Kenyan Women Through Technology and Innovation
The article discusses the Uwezo Fund, an initiative by the Kenyan government as part of Vision 2030, aimed at empowering women, youth, and persons with disabilities through financial grants and business training. The fund, which aligns with the UN Millennium Development Goals, has been distributed across Kenya's constituencies to promote business ventures. The main challenge identified was not the access to funding but how to utilize it effectively. To address this, an eLearning platform was created, providing business management skills and mentorship from international experts. The platform also serves as an online community and marketplace. A partnership with Intel has facilitated computer literacy training for women. The success of the Uwezo Fund and its management are monitored through this innovative portal. The initiative will be discussed at the eLearning Africa Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
