A playground for you and your colleaguesWhen we set out on our quests to develop the very first smartvillage concept in 2012 we only had a faint vision of how work could be improved. We knew we wanted to do this, so we did everything to make it possible and opened the first Smartvillage in 2013. We can proudly say that every hour and every euro we invested was in the end rewarded. We were able to witness co-workers grow above and beyond when given the chance, in an environment that feels right and healthy. We also learned a lot from that first smartvillage which we later used in our Smartvillage we (re)opened in 2018 with a new concept and an operator model (more on that later) for a business playground at multiple locations. Our priorities changed from coworking to innovation rooms and workshop spaces. In August 2019 we opened our second Smartvillage in Espoo, Finland. One step closer to our very own vision: to bring the fun back into work for as many people as possible. We are excited about the future and ready for much, much more to come! We didn’t come to play! Or did we?We love seeing new ways of thinking flourish and don’t dread the change. We rather embrace it. When something doesn’t work like intended, we adapt and change it. We strongly believe that every problem has a fitting solution. The Smartvillage, as you know it now, is the result of years of trial and error, using all the knowledge we have gathered so far. We conceptualized, played and planned meticulously – while having the time of our lives while doing so. Welcome to your playful business home!We are convinced that a workshop space or office is simply not enough. You need a sanctum for the deep and slow thinking. An institution for crazy and controversial ideas. Barracks to find comrades-in-arms willing to fight as a team. A lab for field testing. And a playground to finally let one’s childish emotions take over. Perfectionists and chaospilots, early birds and slugabeds, the stylish and the sharp. Welcome to your second home: welcome to Smartvillage! The smartvillage operator modelOur operator model offers companies and business parks the opportunity to form a cooperation with us by opening a new smartvillage location at their premises. Smartvillage is a hub for employees, coworkers, innovative ideas, a lot of fun and new thoughts, and it is a conference- and event center at the same time. You want to know more about the opportunities and the background of our operator model? Just drop us a line or give us a call – we’ll tell you more about the possibilities.
