Outstanding Co-working Environment for Startups and Interns As a PhD student doing my internship with a startup company that rents space at Portal Innovation in TMC3 Helix Park, I've had an excellent experience working in this facility. Portal Innovation has created an exceptional environment that benefits both the companies they serve and the interns/employees working within those organizations. The workspace environment here is incredibly conducive to both startup operations and academic research. Working alongside my startup team in this space has provided me with invaluable exposure to the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The facility hosts numerous innovative startups, creating a dynamic atmosphere where ideas and collaboration flourish. One of the most impressive aspects is the caliber of entrepreneurs and leaders who work here. I've had the opportunity to interact with experienced CEOs and presidents of various startup companies who are genuinely supportive and willing to mentor younger professionals and researchers. Their guidance has been instrumental in helping me understand the practical applications of my academic work. Portal Innovation has fostered a remarkable community among their tenant companies. As an intern, I've benefited tremendously from this collaborative environment where startups support each other and share knowledge. The networking opportunities have been exceptional for my professional development. The supportive atmosphere extends beyond just the companies—Portal Innovation's management ensures that the entire ecosystem thrives, creating an environment where both established entrepreneurs and emerging researchers can succeed. The location in TMC3 Helix Park is excellent, and the facilities are well-maintained and professional. Working here has given me insights into startup culture while allowing me to contribute meaningfully to my host company's research and development efforts. For any company considering renting space here, or for students seeking internship opportunities with startups, Portal Innovation provides an outstanding environment that promotes innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.
Science Square Labs has a 24/7 availability that comes with a monthly membership. Hourly and day passes usually only allow for access during regular business hours.
Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with Portal Innovations.
The open desk is the way to go if you’re looking for a flexible workspace in an open environment where you can socialize with other members. Or, choose a dedicated desk if you want a designated space that also allows you to keep in touch with the community.
A private office works wonders if you or your team need a quiet, secluded space to conduct your work and interact with people in your organization.
It’s important to understand the different types of coworking arrangements available to you, depending on the type of work that you do and its duration, and whether you’re a solo worker or part of a team.
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Portal Innovations, who is more than happy to help out.
Please reach out to Portal Innovations for more detailed information on membership options and pricing.
