TechHub - Shoreditch, East London

In my last post I mentioned the innovation centre in East London called TechHub, so this week I thought it would be good to tell people a bit more about TechHub, its location and why it is an awesome place to go and check out.

If you are new to the Shoreditch Tech scene and your a product orientated tech start up, then the TechHub on the Silicon Roundabout is a good first port of call - it provides a great place for new tech businesses or people who think they have a good idea to meet local entrepreneurs in East London.  They can be found in the heart of the action in Shoreditch, right by Old Street Roundabout.

TechHub run lots of events out of their Shoreditch based location - for more details check their calender - but if you want to see the member calendar then you have to sign up and join the network of entrepreneurs.



TechHub is the brain child of Elizabeth Varley  with strategy advice from Mike Butcher (Mike was one of the first people are started following on twitter and has proved very knowledgeable on all things tech and start up!) - both who still are and have been involved in the tech scene for many years, with Elizabeth being involved in various SMEs and running her own personal projects and Mike currently writes for TechCrunch and various other publications. 

TechHub offers new tech start ups desk spaces, collaboration space, meeting rooms and event space for tech related launch events.  Although Shoreditch is the first TechHub location, there are plans to expand to other locations across the globe - to enable tech start ups to have the 'just bumped into factor'.

All in all, this is a great resource for all tech product orientated start ups in the Shoreditch area - if you are going to check out one place in Shoreditch for networking and advice, make sure TechHub is at the top of the list!
