La Clota Cotreball, The co-working space promoted by the Horta-Guinardó district and Barcelona Activa is now five years old, consolidating itself as a model of entrepreneurship and socio-economic revitalisation with an impact on the community. Since its inauguration in 2019, it has received 221 people and 86 companies, fostering collaboration and support for 112 entities in the district through its model of social return model.   

Located in the Horta-Guinardó district, this 352 m² space currently hosts 36 projects led by 45 professionals from various sectors, such as communication, graphic design, textiles, audiovisual, technology, food and culture. Its differential value is its commitment to the territory: the co-workers dedicate part of their time to projects of public interest, generating a direct impact on the community

Over the five years, more than 8,400 hours have been dedicated to social return actions in areas such as the social and solidarity economy, health and well-being training, sustainable fashion and the digitalisation of small businesses. The co-working programme has a maximum duration of three years, with an initial phase dedicated to social return and a subsequent economic contribution depending on the project.
