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.

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.
