The Hub Vienna

Here is to the people who want to make a difference, to those who work for a better world, to the ones that have the courage to dream, believe and act. Here is to you.

A few months ago we set out to create The Hub. Inspired by aspirations all around us, triggered by struggles near and far - and simply intrigued by what could be possible if diverse people with the common intent of making a difference had a place to come together and realize their ideas. By the solutions created, the collaborations initiated, the impact achieved. And so with months of restorations coming to an end, and a look both back and ahead we say: Welcome to The Hub.

400m² loft space in the heart of the city

wood, glass, steel, light…

... and still a lot more... …or simply: a home for value-creators

15 weeks. Over 60 contributors. Almost 20 events. Just about 600 guests. Workshops, conferences, launches. Markets, screenings, conversations. And this was just the restoration.

So here we are today. No more dust, no more constructions. Just an inspiring place for people with ideas for a better world to work, meet, learn, connect. This is the ambition, this is the opportunity.

This is how it works. And we invite you to be part of it.

We don’t believe that the best working space is a closed office or cubicle – and therefore designed quite the contrary: a creative and open environment offering the inspiration and flexibility to work as you like. Focus on the task at hand, develop new ideas, connect to other members, host an important meeting, look for inspiration, take a break, ask for feedback, get a new perspective … a variety of accessible spaces and areas offer to serve all of these diverse needs.  Flexible usage and free choice of desk and area within fully equipped working space*.  Free access to high-speed wireless internet and usage of printer, scanner, fax (extra cost charged).  Hub hosts presence and support weekdays 9.00 am to 6.00 pm. * Includes individual and group desks, café bar, lounge, phone booths, quiet zones...

Have people and opportunities you may look for all around. Guests, members, partners. At events, in a workshop, at the next table or for a coffee at the bar.

But even more so, make use of the creative and intentional atmosphere offered to host your own meetings, workshops and events. Light rooms, open areas, creative lounges as well as the entire loft can be hired. By the hour or by the day. With optional catering of breakfast, lunch, coffee, tea or juice.

And at discounted rates for members.  Meetings and workshops for 2 to 30 people in a uniquely designed light room with natural wooden floor.  Various areas, different atmospheres and the right environment at up to 400m² for all kinds of events* with 40, 60, 80 or 100+ participants. * Support in design and development of the event also available upon request.

The Hub is a hosted environment that takes an active role in building capacity and providing inspiration: Inviting conditions for knowledge sharing and collaboration amongst members, just-intime access to tools and opportunities and a regular program of workshops, talks and events with experts and leading thinkers. Discover new issues, see different perspectives and enrich the knowledge and capacity needed to realize your ideas.  Hub Talks enable direct engagement and interaction with experts on some of the key issues of today.  Regular support in growing ideas, modeling strategies and building skills will be provided at the Hub Academy.  Hub Events provide the forum for a more public approach to triggering conversations, building connections and stimulating new ideas.

Becoming a member of The Hub enables a multitude of connections: locally and globally, physically and virtually. To a community of local members and partners as much as within a global network of people, places and ideas. As of today almost 20 cities across four continents and more than 3,000 members globally are connected, an online collaboration tool is in the final stage of development – and so even more opportunities are still ahead.  London, Milan, Bombay or Sao Paulo. If you’re ever travelling to these or other places, you can use your Hub Passport to access their spaces.  An online directory and reservation system is already in place, with Hub+ a collaboration tool is just about ready: create or join issue groups, contact members, engage in online discussions, join mailing lists, view and publish news, share events, link calendars, and still a lot more.

On a final overview. We offer time-based memberships that are designed to be highly accessible and allow you to tailor the tariff to your individual working habits and preferences – with different opportunities to use the space and the flexibility to change between the tariffs as you wish.
