Belkin Announces Latest Additions to Connected Things and Connected Home Categories
BERLIN – September 5, 2019 — Belkin, the Connected Things division within the newly merged Belkin International and Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) entity, today announces the global debut of its Thunderbolt 3 Dock at IFA 2019, located at Messe Berlin, FirstWise Lounge Hall 3.2, Booth 204.
The Belkin Thunderbolt 3™ dock comes at a time where both corporate offices and coworking spaces are embracing the idea of “hotel desks.” These unassigned, operating-system agnostic desks are based on the premise that employees should be able to work wherever and whenever they want without having their productivity interrupted.

- Up until 2022, the number of coworking spaces is expected to grow at an annual rate of 6% in the U.S. and 13% elsewhere
- In 2018, the number of coworking spaces rose 16% in the U.S. and 36% outside the U.S.
