This initiative brings together students, academics and organisations to help solve global cyber security challenges. We aim to:
With a world-wide shortage of cybersecurity skills, we will be offering businesses access to some amazing new talent, as well as giving real-world experience to our students. This is especially relevant if you are keen to recruit from our ethical hacking and cybersecurity graduates, our partner colleges and other upskilling/reskilling initiatives.
The cyberQuarter is the perfect platform for tech businesses to work together to solve existing and emerging problems, brilliantly supported by some of the best minds in Scottish universities.
There are three main components:
We are looking for Founding Members. This is a special membership for companies who sign up before 31 March 2021.
Prices start at £10k per annum. As well as working with our amazing students and academics, this includes co-working and collaboration spaces as well as representation on our industry steering group. We want our partners and users to have a real say in how we operate and what we research in the future.
This is your chance to get in with the bricks, to connect with key stakeholders and to contribute to our thinking as we get underway. If you need dedicated office space as part of your membership, we can create a bespoke package just for you.

We are refurbishing an existing building to create several floors with different spaces. We expect to start refurbishment work in Spring/Summer 2021, and be fully open for business by Summer 2022.
There will be in a mix of shared and private workspaces within a physically and digitally secure setting, combined with amenities for meetings and events.
This ranges from open plan, collaborative areas to private office accommodation for single occupancy, as well as seminar rooms for training and CPD delivery.
The cyberQuarter is more than just a building, it’s a community of individuals and organisations who are trying to make the virtual world more secure.
With our know-how, creativity and innovation we will build fairness, inclusion and economic growth as we go. However large or small your organisation or requirements, come and discuss your needs with us - we really want this community to grow.
