Hello everyone, my name is Frederic Tapé, I am glad to finally be able to post something to the group. Belonging to the group I have learned a lot and increased my understanding of the coworking experience/atmosphere ( just by reading your different posts) to be created to the benefit of the Ivorian freelance workers & start-ups as well as foreigners looking to set shop in the Ivory Coast. We (@ AMN) have been quietly at work as it took us sometimes to meet up with members of the freelance and business communities to get their sense of what were the main obstacles to their starting a business. Their answers confirmed to us than more than a cool thing to do , a coworking space in Abidjan will be a tremendous catalyst in the business life of so many. Check out the space here : [http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMN-Co-Working-Space/137309499647828?v=app\_2392950137&ref=ts#!/video/video.php?v=799996244206](http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMN-Co-Working-Space/137309499647828?v=app_2392950137&ref=ts#!/video/video.php?v=799996244206) We will be providing the following: High speed internet,scanner,printer,video projector,dedicated desktops,softwares & web applications,garden,kitchen,green room ( for videographer & photographer),presentation room,1 dedicated office. We are looking forward to connect with other Coworking space in order to develop interesting speaker and workshop programs; We salute you all the way from Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire.

Hi everyone, I have seen that this post might be out ot date but, i wanted to give it a try. I am a web passionnate and currently web developper in TOGO. And it’s with great interest that i am responding to this group since many initiative are taking place here. Creating places for coworking is for me a new way to democratize ICT’s and new work experience. Since you guys where pionneer in this field i hope i can benefit from your experiences (good or bad) and maybe give me insight in making a co working space in togo and connect each other aswell !! Cordially, Tony Ames, Developper.
