Co-working space is a model, a common working space which formed by two main components: utility/ services and people/community. Comes with utilities such as kitchen, printer, office reception service, meeting room, associated services may be more diversified depending on the site and the cost of the investment.
However, if only to provide the above-mentioned services, no matter how advanced it is not called a common workspace. Community is a vital part of a co-working space. The operator must be able to select the participants, promote interaction and thereby encourage cooperative opportunities.

Toong aims to become a house of invention where business leaders and entrepreneurs can work, collaborate and socialize.
