What is the Bit Minorca Centre?
The Minorca Bit Centre (Baleares Innovation and Technology) is a project promoted by the Government of the Balearic Islands, with the support of the Minorca Island Council. It aims becoming a platform for setting up and developing the Information Society in Minorca. The Bit Centre is mainly focused on acting as a magnet for innovative talent by setting up technology transfer networks, as well as promoting regional development, adjusting it to the new business models.
The Bit Foundation is the entity responsible for managing both the Minorca Bit Centre and the Parc Bit. These are closely related spaces where technology-based entrepreneurs and companies are expected to come together in order to promote the technological boost of our islands.
The Menorca Tech Center/ Centre Bit Menorca coworking space offers a complete infrastructure that includes a desk, ergonomic chair and internet access, as well as access to equipped meeting rooms and common areas designed for rest and social interaction between members.
Flexibility is one of the main advantages we offer, since users have the possibility of renting this space for short or long periods according to specific needs. Additionally, for those who want to extend their stay beyond three months, we offer the option of formalizing a coworking lease to ensure greater stability and continuity in the use of the space.
Regarding our rates, these are detailed below (VAT not included):
Temporary coworking: €100 per month
Coworking up to 2 weeks: €55
Coworking 1 day: €24
We also have cheaper prices if you are going to make Menorca your island for a while, and the center your workspace too:
Fixed coworking (minimum 3 months): €80/month
