Plexal's Members' Night is a chance for anyone to come meet our community of tech innovators over beer and food provided by a different popup each fortnight. They happen every other Tuesday evening, kicking off at 6pm.  Join us if you're:  - interested in being part of the Plexal community - curious about our innovation programmes like LORCA (the government-backed cybersecurity programme we deliver)  - an investor looking for the next big thing  - an entrepreneur, innovator or creative who wants to collaborate and swap ideas  - interested in hosting an event at Plexal or joining our community and want a taste of Plexal life What's Plexal?  Designed and built in the heart of Olympic east London, Plexal is the coworking space and innovation centre for people with big ideas.  We’re building a community of startups and scaleups working in areas likes fintech, healthtech, cybersecurity, IoT, VR, AI and more while our innovation services team delivers training, workshops and accelerator programmes for both corporate and startup clients.  Members get access to a hot desk, fixed desk or private office as well as mentoring and on-site professional services to support them in everything from marketing to recruitment – basically anything a busy innovator needs.  With open, communal areas designed for collaboration (including an indoor park and a 3D printer stocked Makers' Yard for rapid prototyping) as well as plenty of quiet spots, our workspace suits any working style. The Plexal story so far Plexal was officially opened by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in June 2017 and in a very short space of time we've filled up with amazing businesses and hosted hackathons, conferences, launches and meetups. In 2018, we launched Plexiglass: an accelerator to help female-founded startups scale. And in June 2018, we were hugely proud to launch LORCA (the London Office for Rapid Cybersecurity Advancement), which will see Plexal run bespoke, six-month programmes for the country's top cybersecurity companies over three years.  Getting here Plexal's a short walk from Hackney Wick train station, or you can take the free shuttle bus from Stratford bus station or Stratford International.  If you’re driving, you can pay for a space in the car park located next door at Here East.

The Institute for Global Prosperity (IGP), UCL and the London International Development Centre (LIDC), are hosting a joint hackathon led by Darshita Gillies CEO and Co-Founder of Maanch.                                                              Are we prepared for 2030? This event will galvanise youth energy in the UK and Commonwealth nations on delivering and monitoring progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In particular, we have identified four interrelated and mission-critical SDGs as pivotal to realising sustainable prosperity: SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 8 Decent work and SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities. We plan to use these four SDGs as the basis for our global city hackathon to give participants a deep understanding of current statuses, implementing partners, funders, and strategies to inspire SDG attainment generally, and specifically with a youth lens.                                                                        The challenge 1) Analyse UN Data to understand where London is positioned with regard to the 4 mission critical interrelated SDGs.  2) Hack solutions for progress towards goals 2, 4, 8 & 11 in a global city of your teams choosing, and present strategies to the group. The hackathon intends to initiate cross cultural learning and collaboration among the international student community.                                                                          Eligibility Everyone with passion for finding sustainable development solutions is encouraged to apply to this Hackathon. We encourage diversity (gender, skill sets, backgrounds, both professionals and university students, etc.). You do not need to have technical skills to participate. We encourage diverse backgrounds to apply, including open source developers, graphic designers, product managers, researchers, data analysts, civic innovators, subject matter experts in the fields of health, education, poverty alleviation, social change, environment, and other community services, etc. Participation in the Hackathon is free                                                                   Why the UN SDGs? There are 17 SDGs with 169 targets. To realise the SDGs it is estimated that the world will need to invest between 7-10% of global annual GDP per year.  But don’t let this put you off! The SDGs are also the first comprehensive plan for the whole of humanity to flourish within the means of the planet. This makes them a good framework for creative solutions to global challenges that have environmental and social impact at their core.                                                                        Why attend?

2018 was "Year of the Woman" at Sussex Innovation Centre and we celebrated by hosting a variety of events with women as the focus, from our International Women's Day party to a hackathon tackling the 17% (that's the percentage of tech workers that are woman and of founders that are female).
