Building Hardware Connections
Details
A meet-up for start-ups, businesses, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts of everything hardware related. 'Building Hardware Connections' is an environment in which to network, and share challenges and successes. We are interested in encouraging new links within the hardware 'eco-system' - between makers, designers, manufacturers, investors, policy makers, academics, retailers, consumers, and anyone else who has an interest in being part of, and contributing to a wider circular economy.
At our first ever meet up we will also be celebrating the opening of our brand new coworking space for hardware businesses. We now provide hot desks, fixed desks and studios for rent, which include free access to 4 different prototyping workshops and high performing equipment, along with many other benefits.
Come along and find out how you could get more involved with the CRL Home of Hardware community!
