Specialized Coworking: The Kikštarter Case

Is specialization the future of coworking?

What does it really mean to “specialize” a coworking space? Why would a coworking manager choose to focus on one specific sector instead of serving everyone? And what are the practical implications of such a decision?

In this event, we’ll explore these questions through the experience of Kikštarter, a coworking space in Slovenia that has taken a bold step: creating a specialized coworking space for food businesses . Their facilities include a shared HACCP-certified kitchen , and they work with startups and small producers from the food sector.

We’ll cover:
🍽️ Why Kikštarter decided to specialize in the food sector
🏗️ What kind of infrastructure is needed (shared kitchen, equipment, compliance)
💡 What kind of users they attract and support
⚖️ Pros and cons of running a space focused on one industry
🤝 How specialization changes your role as a coworking manager
