Comet, the French startup that has redefined corporate meetings and events in Spain, celebrates its first year with a series of remarkable achievements. Its innovative approach to meetings is fueled by a sense of design, service and content, and has consolidated its position as an essential partner for companies in sectors as diverse as consulting, luxury goods, pharmaceuticals and finance, among others.
This success is all the more striking as the company has established its headquarters in a 1,900 m² building with 19 meeting rooms in Retiro, adding a tangible dimension to its success in the heart of the Spanish capital: Madrid.
In summary, the achievements of his first year are as follows:
Comet's success is no accident. It meets the needs of today's working environment in Spain, and offers an efficient solution for more productive meetings and memorable events.
The July 2023 Comet x YouGov study also reveals trends that support Comet's mission.
In fact, according to the latter, 50% of Spaniards believe that working in isolation and remotely has a negative impact on their personal and professional development . What's more, 44% believe that face-to-face meetings enhance their effectiveness.
This data gives Comet's mission its strength. The company aims to bring people together in a world that tends to drive us apart.
"Launching Comet in Madrid, after opening a site in Brussels in 2021, confirmed our internationalization and the compatibility of our model with other European markets. A real challenge for any entrepreneur entering new markets! So we're particularly pleased to see that Spanish companies are clearly on board, and keen to offer a more stimulating, high-quality setting for their day-to-day business meetings and events. It's also a sign of a revolution in working methods in favor of the hybrid: working remotely, yes, but on condition that we invest fully in moments of cohesion or cooperation to make them decisive and pivotal moments", explains Victor Carreau, co-founder and CEO of Comet. "We're delighted to be able to bring our know-how to Madrid-based companies, enabling them to enhance the value of face-to-face meetings, in perfect harmony with the growth in digital uses.
Looking to the future: Comet continues to grow in Spain and is preparing new developments in the capital. Proof if it were needed of French Comet's commitment to the Spanish market, Nicholas Findling, one of the 3 co-founders and Chief Revenue Officer, has moved to the Spanish capital, clear evidence of the company's ambition for local expansion.
One of them, which we can reveal, is the future opening of two brand-new floors within the Comet Retiro building. This expansion will transform the building into a venue exclusively reserved for business meetings and events. At the same time, the Comet teams continue to seek out new addresses in Madrid to meet their expanding needs. This reflects their commitment to offering Spaniards an exceptional environment in which to discover and experience Comet's unique philosophy.
