This paper, which is the result of an encounter between two epistemic cultures, traces our discussion of the notions of ecology and space, conducted on the basis of an ethnographic survey of a biotech startup holding company in Berlin. Following a spatio-temporal approach, we sketch the scalar logics supporting the spatialization strategies in the course of the holding’s economic expansion: which spatial qualities can be detected according to the phases and needs of the companies? What role do global chains of coworking spaces play with their standardized offer of workspaces? How does the spatial path of the holding company affect employees and the construction of their professional identity? We conclude the paper with a theoretical discussion on the (in)compatibilities between the concepts of space and ecology.
