Dolomiti Hub

What Dolomiti Hub does

Dolomiti Hub is an Italian non-profit social enterprise (operated by Dolomiti Lab S.r.l. Impresa Sociale) established in 2020 in the industrial zone of Fonzaso, Belluno province, near the gateway to the Dolomites. The organization runs a 1,400 m² multi-functional facility that combines coworking desks, private co-office spaces, meeting rooms with streaming capabilities, a 90-seat cinema/theater hall, training classrooms, a bar and bistrot, and outdoor areas. Its purpose is to provide cultural, social, and professional infrastructure for the Feltre mountain territory, addressing demographic decline, limited cultural offerings, and the absence of professional community space in rural Veneto.

The organization's product surface spans coworking/co-office memberships, venue and meeting room rental, an on-site bistrot and pizzeria (open Monday-Friday, plus evenings), paid training courses (such as a 23-hour urban regeneration laboratory priced at €60/€50), informal artist residency accommodation (Residenza Creativa), and professional consulting. It operates public-sector services under two dedicated lines: Servizi PA (public administration consulting) and Servizi PNRR (Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan project design, implementation, and reporting). A portfolio of cultural and community projects — Barch Art, GEA (youth employment with ENAC Veneto), perCORRImi (cross-border social inclusion), Family Hub, CIÀCOLA, and summer recreational centers (CRE) — extends the program to families, youth, and cultural audiences.

Dolomiti Hub is community-owned and sustained by 50+ 'hubbers' (professionals, associations, public administrations, and residents) who co-design its activities. Revenue derives from a hybrid of earned income (memberships, rentals, food service, training fees) and public funding from Fondazione Cariverona, Chamber of Commerce of Belluno, Veneto Region, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (bando TOCC), and the 5x1000 tax donation program. The technology layer includes the Mosaic co-design platform (developed by WeEurope S.r.l. with Sherpa S.r.l., a University of Padua spin-off), used for participatory urban regeneration, alongside standard web, payment, and communication integrations (PayPal, Zoom, Google Analytics, social media channels).
