Achieving a record-breaking revenue of USD 315 million representing a 11.2% YoY growth, these exceptional results come on the back of a series of strategic expansions and TEC's consistency in delivering unparalleled workspace solutions and service to its customers.

TEC maintained an impressive global average occupancy rate of 88% across its network in 2023, reflecting strong customer satisfaction and the growing trend towards flexible workspaces globally.
Central to TEC's success is also its agility in adapting to the evolving needs of the modern economy and workforce.
