Four features of COVO

Optimal production environment for freelance creators

COVO is a shared office and co-working space operated by the editorial production company “Word Inc.” COVO was established to provide freelancers and small creative businesses with an optimal production environment and to work together to develop Kyoto’s creative industry.

In addition to providing the facilities that creators may need, we aim to become a “secret base for creators” that will serve as a platform for expanding the network of cooperation and collaboration on the software side as well, and for mutual growth and development.
