About the organizer
Qworkingo - Coworking Space Bitola
Qworkingo is a place where people work independently without working alone. Freelancers, founders, remote workers, students, and digital professionals may work for different companies, but they still share coffee, ideas, useful introductions, and the support of people around them.
Qworkingo offers 24/7 workspaces and reliable internet. It also hosts meetups, workshops, talks, and community events where people can learn from one another and give new ideas room to grow. The aim is to make startup culture practical and visible in Bitola, one conversation and one new project at a time.
Organizing the first Techstars Startup Weekend Bitola was the next step in that work. It brought a proven 54-hour format to the city and supports Qworkingo's plan to create more local support, mentoring, and programs that help new businesses grow.
