Hatch, a Sri Lankan co-working space, startup incubator and accelerator was awarded ‘The Best Co-Working Space’ in the world at the Global Startup Awards 2021.
This is the first time a Sri Lankan or a South Asian organisation has secured a win in this category, marking a milestone for Sri Lanka’s startup ecosystem.
The award for best co-working space acknowledges a “co-working space that deserves the recognition of its services, support and resources to fast-growth startups, and for creating a culture and environment that fosters innovation and focuses on positively impacting the world.”
With locations in Colombo 1 and Jaffna, what sets Hatch apart is its commitment to offering much more than physical space.
Since its inception in 2018, Hatch has worked to nurture startups and offer a vibrant atmosphere in which entrepreneurs and disruptive organisations can thrive. With hybrid working options for corporates, SMEs and startups, Hatch’s spaces and facilities are designed to enable effective co-working and collaboration with an emphasis on user-friendliness and creativity. It has created positive impact and knowledge sharing through seven pioneering programs.
“Bringing a global platform for local entrepreneurs has been the forefront of our vision. This award enables us to continue to position Sri Lanka and Hatch as an entrepreneurial hub globally and showcases the depth and range of our work,” said Co-Founder of Hatch, Nathan Sivagananathan.
