Greenhouse Coworking: Fostering community and innovation

Greenhouse Coworking opened its doors in Suva in November 2021, becoming Fiji's first full-service virtual and in-person coworking community. The creative hub provides local MSMEs with affordable office space, skills development, community support (in-person and virtual) and networking opportunities.

MDF supported the co-working space with the development of their business plan and financial modelling, hiring Greenhouse Co-working's first Community Manager, and incentivising membership packages to encourage uptake. MDF is now gradually exiting as the business models show encouraging signs of sustainability.

MDF sat down with Maria Ronna Luna Pastorizo-Sekiguchi, the visionary founder of The Greenhouse Studio and Greenhouse Co-working, to learn about their journey after two years in operation.
