VillageOffice, a brand that aims to bring work closer to where you live, has ceased its operations on December 31, 2021. However, the purpose of VillageOffice lives on! They have launched two commercial Spin-Offs, namely CommunityOffice and Flesk. CommunityOffice offers consulting services to communities and property owners, while Flesk provides a B2B app that simplifies access to flexible workspaces and meeting rooms throughout Switzerland.

Additionally, Coworking Switzerland shares the collective knowledge that VillageOffice has developed under a Creative Commons license. VillageOffice was founded as a cooperative in Bern on February 23, 2016, with the goal of reestablishing the workplace in close proximity to people's homes. Over the years, they experienced both successes and challenges, typical for pioneering projects.

Despite the impact of the Corona crisis on their collaborative coworking space model, they managed to minimize financial losses with the support of the Canton of Bern. Although the VillageOffice cooperative had to end its activities, the spirit of VillageOffice lives on through its spin-offs and the transfer of knowledge to Coworking Switzerland. They are proud to have fully repaid the Corona aid received from the Canton of Bern and extend their gratitude to everyone who accompanied them on this remarkable journey
