Are you looking for a flexible workspace and a creative community to surround yourself with? With an A Lab flex membership, you get a flexible workspace right in the heart of the A Lab incubator. It’s a place where you can settle in to work, but also become part of a community of over 350 members and 120 companies from a wide range of creative and entrepreneurial fields. With a flex membership, you don't have a fixed desk, but you will always have a great workspace in the Workhotel alongside other flex members—whether you prefer to work in silence or thrive on a bit of background buzz. Meet other creators and entrepreneurs and take advantage of everything the A Lab community has to offer, from events and drinks to new connections, knowledge sharing, and unexpected collaborations.

Centrally located less than 5 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station, you'll find our incubator in the former Shell laboratory. It’s ideal for freelancers, makers, and entrepreneurs who don't need a permanent office space but do want a professional workspace and a network around them!

Prefer a fixed desk, a few desks, or your own private office? Ask Noa about the possibilities.
