What is the Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme?

The National Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme (Phase 2) went live on September 21, 2022. At least 10,000 hot desk working days will be provided free of charge over the course of the Scheme, which is aimed at existing hub users as well as those accessing hub facilities for the first time.  This second phase of the voucher scheme, which runs to January 8th, 2023, allows registered users to book up to three free hot desk / coworking days  in participating hubs. Please note: each Hub is limited to 50 vouchers. If a hub has reached its limit, you will see a message to this effect when you try to book it. 

This blog covers our most frequently asked questions.  You can also pop over to our blog post here to find out how to register for your vouchers on our Connected Hubs site.

What does the Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme entitle me to?

The Voucher Scheme entitles everyone who registers to a total of three free days of hot desk / coworking in participating Connected Hubs in the Republic of Ireland.  

Where can I see the hubs in the network?

Explore all the hubs in the Connected Hubs network on our website  www.connectedhubs.ie.  They are searchable by location and various useful filters.

It's important to note that not all Hubs on the network are able to offer the Connected Hubs Voucher Scheme to new users. 

Some of our hubs are already fully occupied. Others only offer hot desk / coworking on a monthly basis.  If your chosen hub doesn't show the Connected Hubs Voucher scheme available for booking, look for the nearest hub.  If you need help finding a participating hub don't hesitate to contact us on info@connectedhubs.ie
