Project description
Digital platform helps create more efficient workspaces
Millions of people today travel to their office daily, spending hours in traffic, paying for parking spaces and hardly enjoying a life–work balance. It goes without saying that a lot of time is wasted. The same is true for energy and money. How can working environments become more efficient to reverse or compensate for these downsides? The EU-funded WORKERO project has the answer. It is developing an ingenious mobility strategy for the real estate sector via a digital platform. Smart networking between peers will drive exchanges and cooperation for offering creative workspaces in their ideal locations, enabling easy, efficient renting solutions that will maximise space use and foster collaborative experiences.
Objective
Workero is a digital Workero is a digital platform enabling mobility and interaction between companies and workers by offering creative workspaces in their respective office locations. It is a simple idea that uses mobility to transform idle workspaces into places where companies and workers can connect and share knowledge.
Workero addresses 3 challenges in today’s economy:
1-mobility issues are disturbing our work-life balance with billions of hours lost every year in Europe and worldwide
2-inefficiently used office spaces cause billions in opportunity costs to private and public office space owners
3-small and large companies are in dire need of ways to improve their way of driving Open Innovation/Co-creation
Workero offers a highly scalable, disruptive mobility strategy for the real estate sector (PropTech):
- Allows for companies to open up underused desks/offices/meeting rooms and for users (employees & independent workers) to book these spaces in just 3 clicks (short term/long term)
- Offers live-per-minute office space availability, it is connected to all Traffic Management systems and to Smart Cities IoT, and it integrates buying train tickets, reserving parking spots, booking a shared car, ...
- Sets up an eco-system of co-creation and open innovation for smart networking between peers through a matching algorythm connecting people, business and member states from the European Union.
Workero seeks Phase 1 & 2 support from the European Commission to scale in the total European Single Market.
