Organisations

This is a page to share details about other organisations that share a common geography, space and/or philosophy to 57 North. Sort of, people like us.

Probably best if they are non-profit orgs, but not sure.

A list of events in Aberdeen can be found at https://opentechcalendar.co.uk/area/60-aberdeen .

Although, generally these are groups we're keen on, in some way or other, inclusion on this list does not count as endorsement of any kind.

This is being run as a for-profit venture with investment from Ian Wood. It may be best to avoid this one.

The space will open in Q2 2019, and will support the tech community with scaleup education, office / coworking spaces, mentoring and excellent events.
