The Evolution of Community and Creativity at Hub Turku
The Journey of Hub Turku
In the heart of Turku in Finland, a
vibrant coworking space known as
Hub Turku emerged in 2016, creating
a nexus for creativity, innovation, and
entrepreneurship until its doors
closed in the summer of 2022.
This dynamic environment served not just as a physical space for entrepreneurs, project workers, and small teams to work and exchange ideas but also as a crucible for community engagement and the development of new collaborative projects.
Hub Turku was designed with
the community in mind, offering
a welcoming public space
where individuals could sit, enjoy
a cup of coffee, and network with
like-minded people.
This flexibility and openness provided a much-needed sense of community for those accustomed to the isolation of home offices.

it was a vibrant ecosystem that
brought together people from diverse
backgrounds, fostering a culture of
creativity and collaboration.
With the onset of the pandemic
in early 2020,
Hub Turku seamlessly
transitioned into a virtual
coworking space, ensuring
the continuity of social
interactions and networking
opportunities.
This virtual hub maintained the community spirit online, offering a platform for
entrepreneurs, freelancers, and
students to connect, share ideas,
and spur each other on towards
achieving their goals.
This digital iteration hosted
virtual meals and coffee breaks, guidance services, and expert visits, demonstrating the hub's adaptability and commitment to fostering a supportive community environment, regardless of physical constraints.
A noteworthy spin-off of the virtual hub
was its adaptation into a local EU-funded
project aimed at developing digital skills
among female entrepreneurs.
This initiative served as a space for learning, networking, and peer support, culminating in the creation of the BusinessClub.
This network, focused on mutual
support in digital skill acquisition
and application in business,
exemplifies the hub's
lasting impact on fostering
entrepreneurial growth and
community building.
Though Hub Turku has physically
ceased operations, its legacy endures
through the communities it fostered,
the projects it inspired, and the models
of collaboration it developed
The virtual hub and the BusinessClub continue to embody the spirit of Hub Turku, serving as beacons of innovation, collaboration, and community support.
Hub Turku's journey from a physical
coworking space to a virtual community
hub illustrates the power
of adaptability and the
importance of community
in driving innovation.
As its initiatives continue
to inspire and support entrepreneurs and creators, Hub Turku remains a testament
to the transformative power of collective creativity and entrepreneurship.
