THE COMMUNITY

CR0Tech is about building a sustainable tech community in Croydon. Everything we do is underpinned by our goal of positioning Croydon as a credible player on the European technology scene.

THE HUB

Our hub in Central Croydon will provide tech start-ups with a physical place they can call home. We want to offer co-working space, meeting facilities and everything else a start-up might need, at rock bottom prices.

THE EVENTS

Much of what we do will focus on planning and hosting events for the tech community, the local community and for those who are either considering or should be considering Croydon as their base.

THE COFFEE

No tech scene is complete without great coffee. Our plans include opening a coffee shop at the hub with the aim of serving the best coffee in Croydon to satisfy our community's craving for caffeine.
