What Our Clients Say
I have an office in Providence, but recently need a location to work during a multi-day commitment in Newport. Innovate was the perfect place to get work done in between sessions. Space is clean, bright, and quiet. Plenty of options to choose from – conference rooms, desk areas, and sound proof booths.
Mark Reynolds
I’ve used Innovate Newport many times as a temporary workspace, and it’s been a consistently great experience. The space is clean, bright, and well-equipped—perfect for getting focused work done outside of the house. The environment always feels welcoming, especially thanks to Olya, the fantastic office manager. It’s a solid choice for remote work in Newport!
Moira Burke
Love the team over at Innovate Newport! They do an excellent job helping entrepeneurs make connections, find resources, move their businesses forward. I’ve been a part of their Founders Dinner program for a few years now.
Phil Dimuro
Innovate Newport is a great space for focused work, as well as community inclusion!
I often work from home nearby, but the days when I utilize this the coworking space here are always productive and peppered with friendly interactions with new folks. It is important to have spaces like this for communities to gather, interact, and thrive.
Cole Campbell
Worked at Innovate for a couple days while in Newport on holiday. Tons of space, friendly people and just an overall 10/10 experience. If you’re ever looking for a coworking space on Aquidneck Island, Innovate has everything you need!
Tyler Castillo
Innovate Newport is a co- working environment for professionals, creatives, and all manner of entrepreneurs. It’s located within a historical old school, the building has charm and has been modernized nicely. Lots of networking opportunities and highly rated cafe/coffee shop meeting place in the entry foyer. Outdoor picnic spaces and sit-down tables. Something interesting in every nook and cranny. They offer day passes and ongoing desk and office rentals.
Jeff Fox
Innovate Newport has been an incredible home base for my work. The community is welcoming and supportive, especially if you are building a startup or working on something ambitious. The building itself has a creative feel that makes it easy to stay focused and excited about what you are working on. It is also right in the center of Newport, which is a huge plus since good workspace options in the area are tough to find. If you are looking for a place that blends community, inspiration, and convenience, this is the spot.
