About the cyberQuarter

What is the Abertay cyberQuarter?

The Abertay 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 industry and Scottish universities.

The Abertay cyberQuarter is housed in a completely refurbished Abertay University building and offers:

  • A physical space for collaboration and experimentation using digital tools and technologies.

  • A secure cloud-computing infrastructure for specialist online teaching and learning, and a digital provision of R&D and knowledge-exchange activities.

What's available?

There are a mix of shared and private workspaces within a physically and digitally secure setting, combined with amenities for meetings and events. 

The Abertay cyberQuarter operates over four floors of the building. This ranges from open plan, collaborative areas to private office accommodation for single occupancy, as well as seminar rooms for training and CPD delivery. Additionally, there is a large events area, including an outdoor terrace and a cinema.

  • Businesses needing knowledge exchange activities such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships or contract research.

  • Large employers who need a touchdown spot for locally based employees.

  • Cyber security start-ups and scale-ups.
