This document discusses the evolution of coworking spaces and how the concept has expanded beyond independent workers. It argues that while standalone coworking spaces will continue growing, coworking principles now inspire various organizations like universities, incubators, hotels, and some corporations. The document predicts that coworking will become the physical extension of digital collaboration, with spaces available on every corner to support cloud computing and social networks. It concludes by introducing Jean-Yves Huwart as a consultant and speaker on these topics.
