From Aarhus city centre to INCUBA Next: CrowdStrike found more than just a new office
The company wanted a location close to talent, technology and the university. At the same time, it wanted to provide employees with better facilities, an enhanced working environment and fewer day-to-day operational concerns.
The choice fell on INCUBA Next at Katrinebjerg.
"We've got everything we hoped for, and perhaps even a little more," says Susanne Nielsen, Office Coordinator at CrowdStrike.
Closer to talent and technology
CrowdStrike is one of the world's leading cybersecurity companies, developing advanced technologies for searching, analysing and protecting data.
For the company, access to highly skilled specialists is crucial. That is why proximity to Aarhus University and the surrounding tech environment played a key role in the decision to move to INCUBA Next.
"Being close to the university means a great deal to CrowdStrike. We work with advanced technologies, and that means we need access to talented people. We continuously recruit both graduates and PhD candidates from the university," says Allan Stisen, Engineering Director at CrowdStrike.
The location at Katrinebjerg also allows the company to be close to other technology-driven businesses and to be part of an environment where employees naturally connect across companies and disciplines.
More time for employees, less time spent on operations
Before the move, CrowdStrike occupied its own premises in Aarhus. By relocating to INCUBA Next, the company wanted to free up internal resources from day-to-day building operations and instead focus even more on employee experience and wellbeing.
"By moving into a serviced office environment, we've handed over part of the operational responsibility to the capable team at INCUBA. That allows us to dedicate more time and energy to employee engagement, wellbeing and development," says Susanne Nielsen.
Today, employees benefit from everything from fitness facilities and modern meeting spaces to an excellent lunch offering, events and social activities throughout the building.
A workplace that makes a difference
For CrowdStrike, the physical surroundings have had a noticeable impact on everyday working life.
The company highlights the modern facilities, professional service, convenient infrastructure and the opportunity to offer employees a high-quality workplace environment.
At the same time, being located in INCUBA Next has given the company access to an active community where employees meet peers from other companies, participate in events and exchange knowledge and experiences.
"The social environment at INCUBA means a lot to our employees. Here they meet former classmates, former colleagues and other professionals working with many of the same technologies and challenges," says Allan Stisen.
More than just office space
For CrowdStrike, a headquarters is about much more than square metres.
It is about creating the best possible environment for employees, recruitment, collaboration and growth.
That is exactly why the company has found its place in INCUBA Next.
"We feel that our employees have gained a great deal from moving here. That applies to the facilities, the services and the community we've become part of," says Susanne Nielsen.
