"The Stade de France is a prestigious address, a symbol, explains Christophe Burckartwho has very recently been appointed Managing Director France of this leader in flexible workspaces. Our new business centre fits in perfectly with the economic fabric of St Denis, a very dynamic environment with the presence of numerous start-ups".. In addition to these small businesses, a growing number of large groups are setting up shop in this new business district in the north of the French capital.
Far from the cheering crowds that traditionally enliven the grounds, the atmosphere at the Regus centre on the fifth floor of Grandstand E is quite studious. Covering an area of almost 1,000 m2, the centre has 33 offices - ranging from fully-equipped private offices to coworking spaces - with a total of 100 workstations, plus a meeting room equipped with videoconferencing. In the future, the centre could also include a business lounge for mobile executives.
Ten years ago, companies were looking for flexible solutions in city centres," says Christophe Burckart. Today's major trends are towards nomadism and coworking". In fact, the new Managing Director for France describes Regus as the "office cloud". As part of the Business World programme, mobile executives can access workspaces in 2,000 business lounges around the world, all for a subscription fee of 39 euros per month (obviously more expensive for professionals looking for private or shared offices).
With its Regus Express concept, this global specialist in flexible workspaces is supporting business nomadism by setting up in airports - notably London Gatwiwk - and railway stations, with the first space in France opening this year in Le Mans. The opening of the Stade de France business centre is part of a positive dynamic for Regus, which has almost 60 sites in France. 14 centres have already been opened this year, and there will soon be three more by the end of the year, with openings planned in Rennes, Orléans and Vélizy.
