Tech Events at CodeBase, Edinburgh

Scotland is a major player in the international space sector — Glasgow builds more small satellites than anywhere else in Europe — and the field is growing faster than the talent pipeline behind it. Together in Tech Edinburgh brings people working in the sector to CodeBase to talk about how they got in and what the roles actually involve. The framing is deliberate: most jobs in space tech are software, data, operations and commercial rather than aerospace engineering. Free, and well-suited to anyone considering a sideways move.

A hands-on evening meetup where founders and anyone who cares about growth get direct access to marketers and operators to work through real growth challenges. The format: arrivals with pizza and networking, a keynote and fireside chat with marketers and founders, then open clinic sessions and drinks. Hosted by Cent Amadi and sponsored by CodeBase. No qualifications needed — bring a growth objective, or just come along. Free.

A free morning of inspiration and connection for founders, business owners, funders and investors across Scotland, the North East of England and Teesside. The programme runs from arrivals and an insights briefing on local funding and business-growth support, through a 'Show and Tell' of short startup/scaleup pitches, an 'In Conversation With…' fireside chat with a successful entrepreneur, and closing networking. Hosted at CodeBase, Edinburgh's flagship tech hub. Free ticket required.

A quarterly morning networking session for Edinburgh professionals and founders, hosted at CodeBase by Barclays Eagle Labs. Relaxed format, good coffee, and a cross-sector crowd — the kind of event where you leave with a handful of genuinely useful connections. Previous themes have included Generative AI and digital transformation.

Edinburgh's Cloud Native and Kubernetes community returns to CodeBase after a hiatus — 34 people already signed up from a 1,100-member group that knows its stuff. Full lineup TBC, but expect technical talks on cloud-native architecture, Kubernetes, DevOps, and open source tooling from practitioners in the field. This group draws engineers who are actually building in production.

Edinburgh's data science community gathers at CodeBase with two standout talks: Dr Alex Sopio (University of Edinburgh) on building LLM tools for CERN's big science collaboration, and Dr Gordon Henderson (Skyscanner) on diversity-aware ranking systems for flight search. Networking with pizza and drinks 5:30 PM, talks at 6:30 PM. Sponsored by Trustpilot and Moonsift.
