The Häme Chamber of Commerce has relocated its Lahti office, in Southern Finland, to the coworking facilities of Crazy Town, marking a shift toward a more flexible and collaborative workspace environment in southern Finland.
The organization announced that its Lahti regional office will now operate from Crazy Town’s premises, joining a broader community of companies, entrepreneurs and public-sector actors working from the site. The move reflects the Chamber’s aim to place its local activities within a business ecosystem where companies and institutions interact more directly.
According to a press release, the coworking location will allow its representatives to meet member companies more easily while benefiting from shared meeting rooms, event spaces and networking opportunities available within the Crazy Town community. The arrangement also provides operational flexibility compared with maintaining a standalone office. The staff is supposed to be fairly small, less than 10 people.
The Häme Chamber of Commerce represents businesses across the Häme region, providing advocacy, training and networking services to companies in areas such as industry, services and technology. The organization works with hundreds of member companies and regional stakeholders to support economic development and business growth.
The coworking operator Crazy Town positions itself as Finland’s largest community-driven coworking network and business growth accelerator. Founded in 2002, the company now operates hubs in six Finnish cities, including Jyväskylä, Tampere, Hämeenlinna, Lahti and Espoo, bringing together a nationwide community of more than 400 organizationsranging from freelancers and startups to large corporations.
Crazy Town provides flexible office space, private offices, meeting rooms, event areas and shared facilities with 24/7 access, alongside networking programs, training sessions and accelerator initiatives designed to help member companies grow and collaborate. Membership prices start at around €230 per month, depending on team size and workspace needs.
