For municipalities
Find your municipality and explore existing offers. Or start an initiative for a new VillageOffice Coworking Space.
To successfully build a new VillageOffice Coworking Space, first and foremost people like you are needed. The local community is crucial for the success of a VillageOffice Coworking Space. Because it's the individual needs that shape the space. A VillageOffice works like a modern village marketplace. It consists of a coworking space (office) and is embedded in a regional service network (village). Get involved and build with us the future of the working world.
These are the benefits of coworking for your municipality
Increase local value added
A coworking space brings the work back to the home: it boosts the economy in communities and promotes the exchange of knowledge, ideas and networks. Coworking supports access to new markets and collaborations and provides a professional environment for concentrated work.
Improve quality of life
Coworking offers temporal and spatial flexibility. It enhances well-being and supports a better work-life balance: more time for work, family, friends and hobbies.
Relieve traffic infrastructure
Coworking at home contributes to a sustainable reduction of commuter mobility: less CO2 emissions, less traffic infrastructure.
