ZUG, Switzerland, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IWG, the world's leading flexible workspace organisation has secured new franchise partners in Togo, Libya and Guinea to fuel the group's rapidly growing worldwide network in Africa and is also set to launch in Gabon.
Togo is one of the latest countries to embrace the economic growth opportunities afforded by flexible workspaces, with the Regus centre opening in May 2021 as a franchise operation in partnership with the Confortis International Group.
Located at 2447 Avenue de la Chance, the Regus centre occupies a strategic location within the new business district of GTA Lomé II, in front of the General Directorate of LONATO, near the embassies and the headquarters of large companies and institutions and three minutes from the Presidential Palace. Regus Avenue de la Chance is just ten minutes from the airport and fifteen minutes from the Togolese port of Lomé, the largest in West Africa. The port provides the capital with a geographic advantage with its state-of-the-art container handling equipment serving as a gateway to the landlocked countries of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.
