High quality value is no longer created in classic offices. Added value is created in different locations, at different times, in changing team constellations and without permanent employment. This new type of work constantly seeks new real and virtual locations. Open, digitally networked and collaborative work places are required which are flexible and serve as incubation platform for network, innovation and production.

The betahaus is such a working space. It is a platform which meets the requirements of independent creative professionals and knowledge workers, and expands their opportunities. In a mixture of relaxed coffee house atmosphere and concentrated working environment we create room between work and privacy in which innovation and creativity is fostered.

We opened the first betahaus in Berlin (in Kreuzberg, directly on Moritzplatz, Prinzessinenstraße 19-20). There we offer on about 1,000 sqm room for innovations, creativity and professional working. We have WLAN, fixed and flexible workstations, meeting rooms, a telephone room as well as the betahaus café. Since 1 April 2009 about 120 freelance professionals from the creative scene have been working here: graphic designers, programmers, photographers, architects, designers, startups, a concert artists’ agency, accountants, academics, lawyers, non-governmental organisations, translators, video artists, journalists and bloggers.

Tours of the House are being conducted every Tuesday at 5pm and every Thursday at 11.30am. Meeting place betahaus | café on the ground floor. Special tour Thursdays, 4.30 pm: Open Design City.
