COCOON is the name given to the Hot Desk facilities being set up in towns and villages throughout Cork County.  A Hot Desk refers to a desk in a shared office environment which is fully serviced.  Hot Desks are suited to those who wish to start businesses in an economical and supportive environment.  They are also suited to those who wish to work remotely from head office or those who have needed to downsize and wish to share an office space.  In a COCOON, businesses build contacts and relationships and lessen the isolation involved in starting and running a business.
