You are looking for examples of how coworking is developing in rural regions? Then you will find here a real treasure of experiences, insights and data from different countries in Europe. In May lots of thought leaders shared their insights at the online event „Rural Coworking across Europe“. These country reports were recorded: So you can benefit from these pan-european learnings.

I took the liberty to list the different speakers and the video timestamp for a more convenient access of the talks. Enjoy and be inspired!
