ORGATEC

Too focused to flirt? Over 40% of employees disagree. 👀

Your workspace does more than enable work - it shapes how people connect. A new ORGATEC study shows that over 40% of employees have flirted with colleagues. Because informal zones don't just foster exchange and team spirit - they also drive creativity and team dynamics.

Workspace design is becoming an increasingly important element of business strategy. Your products prove it. Show that story at your stand at ORGATEC!

Burnout isn’t a flex.
The Italians have a proverb for everyone running on empty: chi va piano va sano e va lontano - slow and steady stays healthy, and goes far. Translation: pressure isn’t performance. The right space makes “steady” possible: fewer distractions, better flow, and comfort that keeps people switched on for the long run.

At ORGATEC, meet the exhibitors designing workplace solutions that help teams go further - without speeding up.

The spaces make the difference. 💘

65% say informal zones like lounges, coffee points and shared areas strongly shape team dynamics and relationships. Sofa corners, outdoor spaces, shared desks: not just nice-to-haves, but the places where teams truly come together.

That makes workplace design a strategic factor. And that's exactly what ORGATEC 2026 is all about: "From Rooms to Relationships: Designing Spaces in an Ever-Changing World." See how leading companies are turning functional spaces into places of real connection.

Danes have a word for loving your job: arbejdsglæde.

Of course they do. Somehow the Danes even named that moment when work doesn’t feel like… work: arbejdsglæde. Not “toxic positivity”, just the right mix of comfort, trust, and spaces that make collaboration feel effortless.

Want to feel it instead of reading about it? Come test-drive workplace wellbeing solutions at ORGATEC.
