On Thursday, 18.08.2022, the Minister of Climate Protection, Leonore Gewessler, and other regional politicians as well as the project managers of the Free City arrived in Freistadt for the booting of the Free City. This occasion sets an important sign for a sustainable world of work.

Free City: a different Dimension

 

Shortly afterwards, the booting of neoom's new headquarters, the Free City in Galgenau in Freistadt, began. Arriving at the Free City, the different dimensions of the Freistadt Technology Center and the Free City were immediately evident. The Minister also met with representatives of the State of Upper Austria, the Mayor of Freistadt and the executing managers of the Free City. "The site inspection made it clear to us: something really big is being created here, another dimension, a whole world - a new world of work. Completely in the spirit of sustainability, but more than just a symbol, because sustainability is thought through to the end and is really lived!", the impressed mayor of Freistadt summed it up. Those responsible for the project used the opportunity to once again outline the work on the project and the cooperation with the tenants of the Free City: "It was challenging to create a project of this dimension completely sustainable and new as well as to re-evaluate the previous approach and to combine sustainability with design. We could master these tasks only together  to conquer new horizons!", said Ben Elmecker, designer of the Free City. The executors were also delighted by the collaboration, which was characterized by high speed, regionality, partnership and the willingness to learn from mistakes.
