WRK+ Sets New Boundaries for Workplaces Powered by MQR & The GrEEK Cam

In July 2024, Egyptian startups secured $185 million over seven deals, making it the nation with the highest funding in the region. Reflecting this spike in investment and interest, thriving young companies across the country are now looking for trendy workspaces that offer more than just desks and power sockets, trying to echo the positive company culture around which they revolve.

In such a fast-paced business environment, WRK+, a leading workspace operator in the region, is looking to redefine the workspace experience. Their spaces are built to offer more than a physical location to work in - they work to create a thriving community where businesses of all sizes can grow, fostering vibrant communities driven by shared values and collaboration.

“I believe our core strength lies in fostering a vibrant community where members can connect, collaborate, and thrive. By organising regular events and networking opportunities, we've cultivated a supportive environment that has attracted some of the region's most successful companies. The region’s two unicorns are actually our tenants,” Muhammad Nagi, Managing Director at WRK+, tells StartupScene. “Our extensive network of workspace locations across Greater Cairo and key Egyptian cities, combined with strong partnerships with leading real estate developers, allows us to offer a diverse range of flexible workspace solutions.”

Formed through the merger of two of Egypt’s premier workspace providers, MQR and The GrEEK Campus, WRK+ combines the strengths of both entities to offer an unparalleled experience across its premium locations in Cairo. This unique positioning as a key player in the local and regional entrepreneurial ecosystem is evident in WRK+’s ability to cater to companies of all sizes and growth stages, including the likes of Halan, MoneyFellows, Dubizzle, Noon, Bein Sports, Electrified, NymCard and Lucky.

“While retaining the individual identities of MQR and The GrEEK Campus has been essential for maintaining our connection with specific market segments and real estate partners, the creation of the unified brand, WRK+, has been essential in driving strategic cohesion and operational efficiency,” Nagi adds. “Under the umbrella of WRK+, we have established a centralised leadership structure that fosters innovation, leverages technology, and optimises resource allocation.”

WRK+ offers a diverse range of services and amenities tailored to the needs of companies at every stage of growth. “We offer everything. It’s a comprehensive range of workspace solutions that caters to diverse needs,” Nagi emphasises. “From flexible hot desks and shared offices for individuals and small teams to expansive private office spaces accommodating up to 3,000 square meters, we provide customizable options for short or long-term occupancy. Our portfolio also includes multifunctional meeting and event venues, capable of hosting gatherings from cozy meetings to large-scale summits. Beyond workspace, we enhance the member experience with a range of supportive services, including food and beverage options, virtual office solutions, printing services, fit-out and even fitness facilities as exemplified by our Downtown hub.”

Looking ahead, WRK+ is poised to play a role in shaping the future of work in Egypt and beyond. Through its forward-thinking approach, WRK+ strives to position it as the go-to provider for businesses seeking a thriving community in which they may grow.
