What coworking 2025 needs & what we are already doing now 

The world of work is changing rapidly – and coworking no longer stands for “desk sharing”. In this article, we show you which developments will shape the coworking market in the coming months – and how 1000 Satellites is already providing the right answers today.

Flexible, local, truly sustainable: coworking needs an update

Working from home was yesterday – today it’s all about hybrid working that really works. For many, this means less commuting, more freedom, but also clear structures and reliability. This is exactly why we need coworking spaces that not only look cool, but also offer real added value.

This is exactly where 1000 Satellites comes in. Our locations are deliberately decentralized – so that you can work where you live. And without any compromises: with professional equipment, bookable meeting rooms, super-fast WLAN and a community that knows each other.

Trends that stay – and what we make of them

🔹 Trend 1: Work needs structure – centralized AND decentralized
The future of work is not either/or, but both/and. Neither the classic open-plan office nor fully remote models are suitable for everyone – what counts is freedom of choice with a system.

1000 Satellites combines both: our decentralized locations bring the workplace to where people live – in medium-sized centers, rural regions or the outskirts of cities. At the same time, we offer central anchor points, e.g. in Mannheim, where teams can deliberately meet, exchange ideas or work together.

This means you are closer to your family, your everyday life and at the same time fully connected to your team – digitally or on site.

🔹 Trend 2: Sustainability is mandatory, not optional
Coworking spaces are becoming pioneers for responsible business. For us, this means: sustainable materials in the equipment, energy-efficient rooms, short distances and, above all, cooperation with partners who share our values.

An example? In several of our satellites, we work together with Too Good To Go to actively avoid food waste – so your daily lunch also becomes a statement for more responsibility.

And we also think more sustainably when it comes to employee benefits: through our partnership with Edenred, companies can give their teams access to flexible, regional workplaces – a benefit for work-life balance and motivation.

🔹 Trend 3: Coworking is becoming hybrid-compatible
The boundaries between home office, office and coworking are becoming blurred. Companies are looking for flexible solutions – employees want freedom and structure at the same time. That is why we rely on strong tools and international platforms.

With Desana and Upflex, our satellites are part of global networks for flexible working. You can also book our locations via these platforms – whether as part of a company program or individually.

So coworking at 1000 Satellites is not just a space, but a system that adapts to you – not the other way around.

🔹 Trend 4: Spaces are becoming meeting places
The more digital our everyday lives become, the more important real, human encounters are. Coworking spaces are becoming places to exchange ideas – and sometimes just to take a deep breath.

Our community formats, spontaneous events and projects such as “Who is 1000 Satellites?”, where you get to know our crew behind the scenes, strengthen precisely this feeling: you are not just a user of a space, you are part of something bigger.

Your place in the future of work

If you want to know what working can really feel like – without the stress of an open-plan office or a lonely home office – then come and experience it for yourself. Our satellites are more than just rooms: they are enablers.
