I joined HUB Tampere today with a “Hub 5” membership, and look forward to meeting interesting people and hopefully gaining cool business opportunities and perhaps other forms of collaboration too. Time will tell how it pays off!

The Tampere HUB is itself part of an international network of workspaces – the concept best defined by the HUB people themselves:

The Hub is an initiative to build a network of places around the world where entrepreneurs, innovators and changemakers can meet and work together to tackle the world’s most pressing social, cultural and environmental challenges. A place is needed to inspire and support imaginative and enterprising initiatives for a radically better world.
