Danish technology company Aeven has completed the relocation of its Czech branch to new offices in the Port7 complex in Prague’s Holešovice district. The move, supported by Colliers, covered the full scope of the relocation process, including site search, lease negotiation, workplace analysis, design, fit-out, and change management. The project received an ABSL Diamonds award.
Aeven employs around 400 specialists in the Czech Republic and sought new premises to support its expansion and improve workplace conditions. Colliers delivered the 15-month project in August, serving as a single advisor for all stages.
The company has leased 1,575 sqm in Port7, a campus designed with a focus on sustainability and employee wellbeing. “The Port7 project, located on the banks of the Vltava River in Prague’s Holešovice district, perfectly matches Aeven’s corporate culture. It stands out for its sustainable solutions, connection to nature and application of smart, innovative features,” said Jana Vlková, Director of Workplace Advisory and Office Agency at Colliers. She noted that transport accessibility was another key factor, with employees able to reach the site by several modes, including public transport, cycling and, for some, even by boat.
Workplace analysis and design
Colliers began the assignment with a detailed workplace analysis to understand Aeven’s operational needs. Findings informed the layout and design, which aimed to support productivity, collaboration and employee comfort while reflecting Scandinavian design principles. Flexibility was a central element, allowing the space to adapt to hybrid work patterns and future headcount growth.
“Instead of the traditional static office model, we created a dynamic environment with flexible seating, modular meeting rooms and digital tools that allow employees to combine seamlessly remote and office work,” said Lasse Schmidt, Managing Director for Aeven Czech Republic & Hungary. The offices also feature a central community area for informal meetings, meals and discussions.
Change management and project outcomes
Change management formed a significant part of the relocation, with Colliers supporting Aeven throughout the transition. Employee feedback and utilisation data were used to assess the new environment, indicating improvements in satisfaction, collaboration and work–life balance.
“The Aeven project is a prime example of how Colliers can support clients through all stages of such complex processes. Thanks to our integrated approach, which covered everything from property search and design to project management, we were able to minimize risks and ensure the smooth running of this challenging project,” said Jana Vlková.
