Jenny Schäpper is the co-founder of Village Office, a cooperative gathering 72 coworking spaces all over Switzerland.
Village Office signed up a deal with the Swiss Railway company to make 80 railway station coworking enabled. They will work closely with local coworking operators to deliver this mission. The goal is to increase the coworking offering in the smaller town and remote areas.
Coworking Switzerland also achieved to get the consensus from all political parties in Bern to support the opening up of a total of 100.000 coworking in the country, in the coming future. Public-private partnerships could be the way to follow, says Jenny Schäpper.
The Swiss Federal government wants to embrace the new distributed working model and relocate jobs outside the big cities.
