The Executive Centre (TEC), headquartered in Hong Kong with a footprint across APAC and Middle East, has been at the forefront of flexible work since opening its doors in Hong Kong in 1994. Today, the flexible workspace company boasts over 200 Centres in 34 cities and 15 markets.

All of their spaces are situated at prime office buildings in the CBD, and are well-furnished with luxury furniture from prestigious brands.

The pods have landed in the Centres at AIA Central in Hong Kong and ITC in Shanghai respectively.
