Brain Embassy

Warsaw, Poland · Coworking Space

Brain Embassy is a premium Polish-born coworking brand with two flagship Warsaw locations: the original site at Konstruktorska 12 in Mokotów's Służewiec tech corridor, and a second outpost at Aleje Jerozolimskie near the city's main east-west axis. The Konstruktorska venue, opened around 2016, occupies an architecturally distinctive building surrounded by mature greenery — an unusual amenity in Warsaw's otherwise dense office park landscape. Brain Embassy targets creative professionals, technology companies, and fast-growing scale-ups that want design-quality interiors and community programming beyond standard coworking. The offering spans private offices, dedicated desks, open coworking, and a full event-and-workshop programme. Both locations feature high-end fit-outs with natural materials, breakout zones, phone booths, and event rooms capable of hosting product launches and investor gatherings. The Konstruktorska neighbourhood houses a concentration of technology and media firms and has been a secondary tech cluster in Warsaw alongside the Wola CBD. Brain Embassy's community events have included startup pitch evenings and workshops oriented toward product and marketing teams at growth-stage companies, making it one of the more ecosystem-engaged premium coworking operators in Warsaw outside the Google Campus and Reaktor networks.

Campus Warsaw

Warsaw, Poland · Coworking Space

Campus Warsaw is Google for Startups' flagship hub for Central and Eastern Europe, opened in 2015 inside the historic Koneser Centre at Plac Konesera 10 in Warsaw's Praga district. The venue occupies a revitalized 19th-century vodka distillery complex and serves as the primary gathering point for Google's regional startup programs. Access is restricted to Google for Startups alumni and resident startup community members on weekdays; the 200-seat auditorium and 36-seat classroom open to the public during curated events. Campus Warsaw runs Founders at Campus residencies — structured cohorts providing dedicated workspace, mentorship, and access to Google product experts — alongside Google for Startups Accelerator Poland, which selects early- and growth-stage companies for equity-free intensive programs. The Praga location positions Campus outside Warsaw's central business district, embedding it in a rapidly gentrifying creative and tech neighbourhood that also hosts the Koneser Building M location of Spaces coworking. As the only Google for Startups Campus in the CEE region, the Warsaw node anchors a network that connects local founders with Google's global mentor pool, cloud credits, and product integrations. Several international investors use Campus events for deal sourcing when visiting Warsaw.

COBL

Kiel, Germany · Coworking Space

COBL is opencampus.sh's coworking café concept, situated at Legienstraße 40 in central Kiel — a location distinct from the Wissenschaftspark campus and positioned to serve founders, students, and remote workers who prefer working in the heart of the city rather than on the science-park periphery. The venue blends the café and workspace formats: members can work over quality coffee specialties in an environment designed to encourage informal exchange and networking. Beyond day-to-day workspace, COBL offers separately rentable rooms for small team meetings, workshops, and events, making it a flexible option for early-stage founders who need meeting infrastructure without a full-time office commitment. As part of the opencampus.sh family — which also operates StarterKitchen and fablab.sh — COBL members gain a natural introduction to the wider Kiel founder community, the Gründungsstipendium SH advisory network, and the annual Waterkant Festival ecosystem. The venue is particularly accessible for founders affiliated with Christian-Albrechts-Universität Kiel and Muthesius Kunsthochschule, both within cycling distance of Legienstraße. The coworking café model keeps overhead low, meaning pricing is at the accessible end of the Kiel spectrum. Pricing tier: €.

Coworking Linz

Linz, Austria · Coworking Space

Coworking Linz is a city-centre shared workspace located at Stifterstraße 22, 4020 Linz, a short walk from both Linz Cathedral and the Landstraße retail district and approximately ten minutes on foot from the main railway station. The space occupies an accessible, wheelchair-friendly ground-floor unit and targets startups and small companies seeking a collaborative daily environment without long-term office leases. The offering centres on large communal tables with abundant desk space, standing desks, high-speed WiFi, printing, and fair-use coffee — a deliberately lean set-up that keeps the focus on focused work and peer interaction rather than amenity overload. Members also gain access to a kitchen, outdoor terrace, personal lockers, lounge areas, and 24-hour entry. The space markets itself specifically to early-stage founders and distributed teams needing a professional address and a local professional community in central Linz. Its compact footprint and convenient location make it a practical entry point into Linz's startup scene for solo founders or small remote teams relocating to Upper Austria.

Daxbau

Linz, Austria · Coworking Space

Daxbau is a creative-professional coworking space at Peuerbachstraße 7, 4020 Linz, designed specifically for independent creatives, freelancers, and small startups working across graphic design, illustration, photography, video production, software development, copywriting, translation, and journalism. The space combines a practical coworking floor — ergonomic desks, 100 Mbit WiFi, shared printers, personal lockers, and a kitchen — with a community ethos that values social exchange and peer accountability. Members can join on a full-time or part-time basis, with optional key access for off-hours entry, making it suitable for both regular desk workers and occasional drop-ins. The Peuerbachstraße address sits in a residential-commercial district a few tram stops from the city centre, giving it a quieter atmosphere than central business addresses. Amenities include a lounge, bike parking, car parking, and an adjoining restaurant. Daxbau's explicit vertical focus on creative professionals distinguishes it from tech-first coworking venues elsewhere in Linz, making it the natural home for designers, media producers, and content studios who want to work alongside peers in the same craft rather than in a generic open-plan environment.

Digital Jungle

Tbilisi, Georgia · Coworking Space

Member-only coworking space for startups, remote teams, and digital professionals, opened in 2023 at University Street 17a in Tbilisi.

fablab.sh

Kiel, Germany · Coworking Space

fablab.sh, located at Fraunhoferstraße 2–4 in Kiel's Wissenschaftspark district, is the city's first open-access high-tech fabrication workshop and functions as both a community makerspace and a hardware prototyping hub for startups and SMEs throughout Schleswig-Holstein. The facility is operated under the opencampus.sh umbrella and is closely connected with the MakerCube Re:Invent initiative, a partly EU-funded digital-fabrication programme designed to bring professional manufacturing tools to startups, craftspeople, and student teams. Equipment includes FDM, SLA, and SLS 3D printers, laser cutters, cutting plotters, five-axis CNC milling machines, and 3D scanners capable of capturing objects up to three metres in diameter. Open Lab Days run every Thursday from 11:00 to 19:00, providing walk-in access for members of the public and registered users alike. The MakerCube programme supplements the standing facility with expert consulting, mentoring, and structured workshops. The space targets hardware founders seeking rapid physical prototyping without committing to factory tooling, researchers requiring bespoke instrumentation, and vocational learners acquiring digital-fabrication skills. Access for qualifying participants in MakerCube programme is free of charge; general membership fees are available on enquiry. The lab's proximity to opencampus.sh's StarterKitchen coworking space creates a natural pathway for founders moving from software ideation to physical prototype. Pricing tier: €.

Factory300

Linz, Austria · Coworking Space

Factory300 is Linz's flagship startup coworking venue, launched in summer 2017 inside Haus CASABLANCA at Peter-Behrens-Platz 10 within the historic Tabakfabrik complex. The space spans 3,200 square metres and hosts roughly 400 members representing more than 180 businesses, ranging from solo freelancers to corporate innovation teams. Membership tiers run from day passes at €37 through the Family plan (€123/month, flexible seating, 24/7 access) up to a dedicated Fixly desk at €346/month. In November 2018 Factory300 extended into the Strada del Startup — a 230-metre internal production street offering 57 private office units with around 300 additional workplaces, at that point roughly 80 percent occupied at launch. Corporate anchors Fill, MIBA, and Raiffeisenlandesbank OÖ hold memberships alongside growth-stage startups. Notable alumni include Blockpit, which raised €8.4 million in crypto-tax software funding, and Celantur, an automotive technology spin-out. Factory300 runs regular community events, a lending library of meeting-room credits, and maintains ties to the broader Upper Austrian startup support network through its location within the Tabakfabrik ecosystem.

Flensburg Coworking

Flensburg, Germany · Coworking Space

Flensburg Coworking is a purpose-built shared workspace serving the founders, freelancers, and remote teams of Flensburg — the northernmost major city in Germany, situated on the Flensburg Fjord some 85 kilometres north of Kiel and directly on the Danish border. The venue markets itself with the tagline "stadtnah und mitten im Grünen" (city-close and amid greenery), signalling a location that balances urban accessibility with a calmer, nature-adjacent setting that distinguishes it from the denser coworking scenes of Hamburg and Kiel. Flensburg's cross-border character — with strong commercial ties to southern Denmark and a significant Danish-speaking community — gives the space a naturally international flavour that benefits founders targeting the Nordic market or building Danish-German partnerships. The city hosts Europa-Universität Flensburg and Hochschule Flensburg, both of which feed entrepreneurial and technical graduates into the local founder ecosystem. Flensburg Coworking provides desk and office workspace, meeting facilities, and community programming tailored to the small but active northern Schleswig-Holstein startup scene. The space fills a clear gap in Flensburg's infrastructure, which otherwise lacks the density of coworking options available in Kiel or Lübeck, making it the natural first stop for early-stage ventures and digital nomads operating in the border region. Pricing tier: €€.

Grand Garage

Linz, Austria · Coworking Space

Grand Garage is a makerspace and educational workshop embedded within the Tabakfabrik Linz campus at Peter-Behrens-Platz 6, 4020 Linz. The facility spans approximately 2,000 square metres and equips members with access to more than 40 professional machines covering laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC routers, electronics workbenches, and analogue woodworking tools. Members enjoy 24/7 keycard access to the production floor, while drop-in workshop hours run Tuesday through Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings for non-members and students. The space positions itself explicitly at the intersection of digital fabrication and skills education: alongside open membership it runs structured workshop programmes for schools and vocational training institutions throughout Upper Austria. Startups and product developers use Grand Garage primarily for rapid hardware prototyping — moving from concept sketches to physical prototypes without committing to factory tooling. Companies, associations, and educational institutions are listed as cooperation partners, giving the space a hybrid character between a community makerspace and a light industrial R&D facility. The membership model supports both individual makers and team-level access, consistent with an open-floor coworking approach applied to physical production rather than desk work.

Mindspace Warsaw — Koszyki

Warsaw, Poland · Coworking Space

Mindspace Warsaw Koszyki is located at Koszykowa 61 in the Śródmieście-South district, immediately adjacent to Hala Koszyki — the restored 1909 market hall that anchors one of Warsaw's most vibrant mixed-use neighbourhoods. The building is a classified historic monument, and the Mindspace interior blends early 20th-century architectural character with a contemporary coworking programme. The location is served by Politechnika metro station on the M1 line and multiple tram routes via Plac Konstytucji, making it well-connected to both the Old Town and the southern office corridors of Mokotów and Służewiec. Workspace products mirror the Skyliner site: private offices, coworking memberships, dedicated desks, and fully equipped meeting rooms. Distinctive amenities include a barista coffee station, weekly yoga classes, secure underground bike parking with showers, and 24/7 keycard access. The neighbourhood demographic — creative agencies, media companies, and boutique tech firms — shapes the resident mix at Koszyki, differentiating it from the more corporate character of the Skyliner tower. The proximity to Hala Koszyki's restaurant and bar scene makes the space attractive for teams that use informal settings for client entertainment and team socialising, adding social value beyond desk access alone.

Mindspace Warsaw — Skyliner

Warsaw, Poland · Coworking Space

Mindspace Warsaw Skyliner occupies multiple floors of the Skyliner tower at Prosta 67 in Warsaw's Wola business district, one of the city's most prominent new commercial high-rises. The location sits a one-minute walk from Rondo Daszyńskiego metro station on the M2 line, placing it at the heart of the rapidly developed western CBD that now hosts the headquarters of major Polish and international financial institutions alongside several high-growth tech companies. Mindspace operates a premium design-forward coworking model: the Skyliner fit-out features floor-to-ceiling glazing with panoramic views across the Warsaw skyline, exposed finishes, barista coffee, and curated communal areas. Workspace products include private offices for small to large teams, dedicated desks, coworking memberships, and fully equipped meeting and event rooms. The space caters primarily to scale-ups, corporate innovation units, and international companies establishing a Warsaw base — notable tenants include Korn Ferry and Samba TV — rather than very early-stage startups. Twenty-four-hour keycard access and a pet-friendly policy are standard. The Skyliner location complements Mindspace's second Warsaw site at Koszykowa and gives the operator significant coverage of the city's prime business addresses for mobile professionals and multinational teams.

Reaktor Warsaw

Warsaw, Poland · Coworking Space

Reaktor Warsaw is one of the city's longest-running independent startup coworking communities, established in the early 2010s in the Mokotów district and closely associated with the emergence of Warsaw's first generation of tech founders. The space was a formative environment for Borys Musielak, co-founder of SMOK Ventures and a central figure in the local angel network, and has served as an informal gathering point for early-stage Polish SaaS and mobile founders. Reaktor Warsaw operates with a community-first membership model rather than a serviced-office approach: members are expected to contribute to ecosystem events, mentoring sessions, and peer knowledge-sharing rather than simply renting desk space. The programme arm ReaktorX ran a remote-first pre-acceleration track for first-time founders, helping validate ideas and connect teams with early-stage capital. The space occupies a compact floor in a Mokotów office building, with capacity suited to a curated resident cohort rather than open-plan hot-desking. Pricing sits at a mid-range tier compared with premium corporate coworking chains in Warsaw's Wola CBD. Reaktor has been instrumental in cross-pollinating Warsaw's early developer and product communities and contributed to the culture of peer mentoring that now characterises the wider Polish startup ecosystem.

The space is fully furnished and staffed, with receptionist services, high-speed internet, meeting rooms, and cleaning included in all plans.

The Promenade address gives members a prestigious Linz business address in the commercial core of the city, accessible directly from the Hauptplatz tram interchange. The centre serves established SMEs, corporate project teams, and internationally mobile professionals who require reliable, immediately operational workspace rather than a community-first startup environment. Regus Linz Promenade functions as the most enterprise-oriented coworking option in central Linz, complementing the startup-focused spaces concentrated in the Tabakfabrik campus.
