Teams use the locations specifically for intensive work phases. This should allow companies to reduce fixed costs for office space and invest strategically in high-quality in-person formats.

Co-founder and CEO Lukas Koppitz says:

"Artificial intelligence makes knowledge work more efficient, but it doesn't replace human connection. We see in many companies that purely digital collaboration can lead to less engagement, lower identification, and decreased innovation in the long run. That's why our locations are deliberately designed as places for focused collaboration. Not as offices, but as infrastructure for those moments when teams really need to come together."

Investor too Moritz Reck emphasizes:

"The way collaboration takes place in companies is noticeably changing. Personal interaction is becoming more important again. This is precisely where Smartvillage comes in, creating spaces where collaboration can truly be experienced. We were particularly impressed by the uncompromising clarity with which the team developed this concept regarding digital infrastructure, branding, and operational implementation. We are convinced of the team behind Smartvillage and are very much looking forward to taking the next steps in growth together."
