About iCITY
Our story
We believe that the best ideas are born in a supportive, adaptable environment. iCITY's journey started with a mission to offer flexible workspace solutions that grow with our members’ needs, helping reduce the risks and costs of traditional office spaces. We hope to evolve into a community where collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement thrive. From our local roots in Basel to global aspirations, we are dedicated to fostering spaces where creativity can flourish and businesses can grow.

Our mission
Our mission is to empower iCITY members by creating a workspace community that listens, supports, and evolves. We are committed to continuous improvement, driven by the feedback and needs of our members. Our spaces are designed to encourage collaboration and provide an environment where innovation can flourish.
We believe that with the right tools and environment, our members can focus on what matters most: growing their businesses and innovating for the future.
nurture growth
Our vision
We aim to create more than just workspaces at iCITY—we strive to be a lab for new ways of working. While our physical labs are dedicated to scientific innovation, all our spaces act as testing grounds for new ways of collaborating, partnering, and working. We foster environments where people feel safe to try new things, experiment, and drive the future of work.
fuel innovation
Sustainability initiatives
We see sustainability as an opportunity for innovation. Through partnerships with forward-thinking companies, iCITY repurpose materials to create high-quality, sustainable workspaces. Our Furniture-as-a-Service (FaaS) model minimises the need for heavy upfront investments by offering refurbished, high-quality furniture, promoting flexibility and sustainability.
We’re not just reducing waste—we’re creating workspaces that are practical, sustainable, and constantly evolving to meet the needs of our community. With Move Consultants’ lifecycle approach to real estate and operations, and Vebego’s sustainability-focused facility services, we ensure that iCITY is designed for the future.
