SAXShare is a new sharing community build by International
Students for International students and
others (entrepreneur, lectures, and professional) to develop
attractive environment by providing
coworking space and related sharing event. SAXShare is found by
exchange students of Business
Engineering Saxion UAS, Novia Evi Fikriyah and Kevin Ilardi.
Novia is a final year student in Industrial
Engineering, Telkom University Indonesia, while Kevin Ilardi is
a master student of Economic
Engineering, IUP IE University Grenoble, France. The idea to
build SAXShare is come from problem thatthere isnt place where
international students can meet each other, sharing knowledge, or
work
together. Whereas there are two big universities in Enschede,
The Netherlands namely Univertiteit
Twente and Saxion UAS, so number of international student is a
lot here. In fact, the students come
from countries around the world consist of Asian, American,
African, or European and believing that this
diversity is a big opportunity for brilliant ideas come up
thanks to collaboration. However, most of
international students only meet in class room. Some outclass
communities is provided, but mostly in
dutch.
The story continue when Novia and Kevin joined Phillips
Innovation Award in Delft University, The
Netherlands. They experience business incubator provided there
where many students come and
develop their start up business. The start up companies are
given direction and guided byprofessional ti build their business.
Beside that they also share experience and give feedback to
other
start up, solving problem together. From here, Novia and Kevin
started to find a building so
international students can be there to share knowledge, present
their projects, and work. As the first
step, they open coworking space. Coworking is a style of work
that involves a shared working
environment, often an office and independent activity. Coworking
doesnt necessarily share the same
objective, creation, or goal so just get your own creativity
juice flowing. You can do your own thing but
within the same room. Coworkers work in a coworking space. The
reason is other people enhances your
creativity juice and the secure feeling that you have someone
you ask for help or just simply share a
laugh or interest. Decrease loneliness. The bonus is that when
the other coworker has the ability to help
you with simple question and the cherry on top is when you are
collaborating. So coworking space is the
perfect environment for collaboration to happen.
SAXShare coworking space first launched on January, 18th 2014.
From KOSS student association Saxion
UAS, SAXXhare got place to open coworking space each Saturday,
named De General located in
Stadsgravenstraat 41-43 7511 EP, The Netherlands. As the
beginning, SAXShares strategy is introducing
this coworking space to many people so they know that there is a
place to work in Saturday now
because campus is close on weekend. The launching was success
and there an awesome presentation
from one of magazine in Enschede.
