enspace Cebu: Creating a GLOCAL world where various “fate” intersect
GLOCALization is a portmanteau of the words “globalization” and “localization.” It refers to the process of adapting global products, services, ideas, and technologies to local markets and cultures. Glocalization is a way of balancing the need for global uniformity with the need for local diversity.

The History of enspace
enspace started in Japan, specifically in Sendai City. Ryota Yamada recounted that their CEO, Katsuhiro Ago, went to Sendai and saw many promising people, especially those with small businesses, that inspired him to establish Enspace.
“To provide coworking space for startups and the local community,”
YAMADA STATED.
enspace in Cebu
So, how did enspace get to Cebu?
Because of enspace’ success in Japan, clients wanted to try marketing the company abroad. and because ASEAN countries were closer to Japan, the CEO decided to expand to the Philippines. Moreover, the decision was also influenced by the fact that many people speak fluent English in the Philippines, especially Cebu. Aside from that, there are many foreigners, especially Japanese, that need a place to work or help kick start their business.
The “en” in enspace
The “en” in enspace means different things in English.
First is “Enjoy”; as stated by Yamada, when people work, it is best to enjoy the process. Next is “English”; Enspace believes learning English is essential when starting a business. Third is “Engineers”; the company brings importance to tech engineers as they play a vital part in our lives, especially now that technology is around us. This is why they also want to provide a space where people in the tech industry can work on their careers.

But there’s a Japanese meaning of “en” that fully describes what enspace is all about— en meaning “Fate.”
Students, freelancers, business owners, and people of different backgrounds come together to share one space that intertwines their fate and helps them grow, succeed, and be the empowered version of themselves.
