Description:
In the article, we describe how science and technology parks are faced with a fast growing adhocracy of knowledge-intensive workers - freelancers, solopreneurs and micro-size companies (less than 10 persons). Co-working spaces have become a mainstream solution in offering working spaces for this customer group. However, this same group also needs other services and there is an intriguing possibility for STPs to scale their offering from mere co-working space services to co-creation services.\n\nOur case Crazy Town presents a new co-working concept that helps STPs to cope with the adhocracy challenge of knowledge-intensive workers' market. lt was developed from the experiences of running the oldest privately-funded community-driven eo-working space in Finland in cooperation with the science park "heavy-timer" Technopolis Oyj. lt is operated with a frugal and an affordable business model, making the concept scalable to any science park environment. Concept has four stages that build upon each other, first being the traditional co-working space.
