Estonian coworking spaces: where freelancers, startups and remote teams can work

Coworking spaces in Estonia have long since ceased to mean merely a desk, a chair and a Wi-Fi connection. For freelancers, it offers an opportunity to get out of the house and work more productively. For start-ups, co-working provides access to people, events, investors and partners. For small teams, it is a flexible alternative to a traditional office, without the need for a long-term lease. For digital nomads and e-resident entrepreneurs, however, coworking is a quick way to integrate into the local business community.

This selection brings together the strongest and most prominent co-working spaces in Estonia: ranging from the larger networks of workspaces in central Tallinn to local work hubs in Tartu, Pärnu, Viljandi, Paide, Võru, Haapsalu and Kuressaare.

How to choose a co-working space in Estonia

Before booking a workspace, it’s worth looking beyond just the interior design. Five things are important: location, opening hours, the availability of telephone booths, meeting rooms and the nature of the community. For an individual, peace and quiet and a comfortable desk are the most important factors. For a start-up, events, networking opportunities and the chance to scale up the team quickly are valuable. For a consultant or service provider, a meeting room, the address, a professional atmosphere and convenient access for clients are important.

Prices, opening hours and availability may change, so it is worth checking the terms and conditions on the official website before your visit.

For clients, you need a meeting room and a convenient address. For a start-up, events and the community are important. For day-to-day work, the most important things are a chair, peace and quiet, the internet and a normal atmosphere.

For co-working spaces, office spaces and business communities

If you manage a co-working space, meeting rooms, a business hub, a training room or a local business centre, add your business to Easyfind. Your profile on the portal acts as a mini-website for your business: you can add a description, photos, a video, a PDF file containing your price list or terms and conditions, company details and quick contact buttons.

This makes it easier for customers to immediately understand where you are located, what services you offer, who the space is suitable for, and how to get in touch with you. This is particularly important for co-working spaces: people aren’t usually just looking for a ‘place to work’, but for a convenient location, a good atmosphere, a meeting room, a sense of community and clear terms and conditions.

Easyfind helps local businesses, specialists and service providers to be more visible in search results and not get lost in the flood of information on social media.
