Togo, Libya, Guinea, and Gabon are the latest countries to embrace opportunities with Regus in Africa, bringing the flexible workspace provider’s global portfolio to a lofty 120 territories.

Set in the heart of Lomé in Togo, a new Regus centre is set to launch in May 2021 as a franchise partnership with investment and real estate firm Confortis International Group, located in the business district of GTA Lomé II, just ten minutes from Lomé-Tokoin International Airport. Facilities include a coworking space, private meeting rooms, and a business lounge fitted with state-of-the-art technology, 160 workstations, and six meeting and conference rooms.

In Libya, the capital Tripoli will welcome its first Regus centre in June and in partnership with Alhareth Ghattour, featuring coworking space, meeting and conference rooms plus a business lounge, set in a central financial district that combines historical architecture with modern infrastructure and amenities.

Just minutes from the airport, Regus will open a centre in the Guinean capital of Conakry in collaboration with the Sonoco Group. Set to open in May, the Tour Niger centre will be within reach of the Presidential Palace, several ministries, the port, as well as the city’s major hotels and banks.

Regus is also set to open its first flexible workspace in Gabon, one of Africa’s largest oil producers. Located in the Petit Paris area of Libreville, the Regus Serena Building features 38 private offices, dedicated co-working space with 100 workstations and two meeting rooms, just a 15-minute drive from Leon Mba International Airport.
