Carlos Gonçalves, founder of Avila Spaces, introduced in 2021 the first flexible workspace in a shopping center in Portugal, following inspiration from similar concepts in the US and Ireland. This unique idea, dubbed Avila Work City, allows users to access a range of facilities without leaving the mall.
Gonçalves, a healthcare professional turned entrepreneur, envisioned a more pleasant and modern concept for business centers. After a few trials and transformations, Avila Spaces began to thrive, providing services such as virtual office and administrative support. Gonçalves recognizes the importance of a conducive physical environment in offering quality service and maximizing profits.
