It has just raised $400m in a funding round led by Kuwait's sovereign fund. AFP A three year-old competitor to WeWork has secured $400 million (Dh1.5 billion) in a new round of funding led by Wafra, an investment arm of Kuwait's sovereign wealth fund. Knotel is a New York-based flexible workspace provider which manages more than 370,000 square metres of space in more than 200 locations in cities such as New York, San Francisco, London, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Paris and Berlin, among others. The company said it will use the new money to grow its footprint in existing markets and "continue expansion into the world's 30 largest cities". It also said it would "accelerate recent innovations" such as Baya — an internal blockchain platform used to support data-driven acquisitions — and a system known as Geometry aimed at streamlining its delivery model. “Knotel is building the future of the workplace, and we are excited to welcome a group of investors who believe passionately in our product, vision and ability to execute,” said Amol Sarva, the company's co-founder and chief executive. “Wafra will help us continue our rapid global expansion and solidify our position as the leader in a fast- growing, trillion-dollar flexible office market.” The latest $400m funding round values the company at over $1 billion, Knotel said in a statement, and brings the total the company has raised to date to $560 million. Investors to participate in the latest round alongside Wafra include three Japanese firms - real estate company Mori Trust, trading conglomerate Itochu and equity investor Mercuria. Wafra is an alternative asset investor with assets and commitments of about $24bn. Its other investments include The Avenue, a luxury apartment building in Washington DC and in private equity firm TowerBrook Capital. Competitor WeWork's parent firm The We Company last week revealed plans for its IPO. WeWork has raised more than $12bn in funding since its launch in 2010. The company has received backing from Japan's SoftBank Vision Fund. Its IPO filing revealed that last year, the company declared a net loss attributable to its shareholders of $1.6bn on revenue of $1.8bn.

  • Where Are the COVID-19 Test Centres in the UAE and How You Can Book a Test?
    Where are the COVID-19 Test Centres in the UAE and How You Can Book a Test? The UAE has set up numerous COVID-19 (Coronavirus) test centres throughout the country, in addition to testing facilities at various Government healthcare facilities. This is part of an effort to step up testing patients for COVID-19 in order to “flatten the curve” in the UAE. Can I Get Tested? If you are showing symptoms of COVID-19, you need to consult a medical professional immediately (see table on the following pages for telephone numbers). Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has set out guidelines on when, where and how to get a COVID-19 test in Dubai. These guidelines are issued to prevent undue concern by clarifying that not everyone needs to take a COVID-19 test. Please note, that while the current guidance does not mandate everyone to be tested, these guidelines may change in the future. If you have come in contact with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patient, you should first self- quarantine at home and then call the DHA helpline at the number provided on subsequent pages. According to Dr Abdulla Al Rasasi (Head of Preventive Medicine at DHA), patients are suspected to have the virus if they have: Upper or lower respiratory systems (cough and difficulty breathing) with or without fever Travelled to a high-risk country Cared for or come into contact with people with COVID-19 Severe acute respiratory infections with no other medical explanation Vulnerable groups are at a higher risk of serious infection with the virus.
