Our research aims to equip managers of coworking spaces with the knowledge, the tools and analytical framework that will allow them to make strategic decisions for fostering community-driven innovation in collaborative spaces. Collaboration is a capability that allows organizations to

adapt quickly to a changing economic environment and rely on “ingredients” of social interaction that have a strong impact on the innovative result _{(Castilho & Quandt, 2017, p.3)}

How do collaborative spaces encourage their members to innovate? What are the existing tools to establish and run a coworking space in a collaborative way? To answer these questions, were analyzed 22 coworking spaces, upon which the conclusions of this report are built. The analysis was conducted thanks to semi-directed interviews of individual having a thorough knowledge of each coworking space. In addition, in situ observations of the spaces and their functioning were carried out.
