We are conceptualizing and piloting Sweden’s first innovation and co-working hubs for the public sector – Samverket. The aim is to create a national hub concept that can be implemented throughout the country. The interest has been immense from all corners of the country, and the doors to the two pilot hubs were opened in December 2021. Join us now for a “tour” through these hubs to see how we have designed workspaces for innovation, co-creation, and building social relations.
