  • Nexus NorthWest
    ​- Tech Meetup -

    Ireland’s Northwest is home to global employers, ambitious start-ups, remote workers, and a university rich in emerging talent.

     

    For over 10 years, Sligo Tech Meetup provided an accessible way to harness this ecosystem. As a facilitator and connector, it has enabled technology-related discussion, collaboration and innovation across disciplines, organisations, and communities.

     

    Our focus evolved from “talking tech” to more actively connecting ideas, expertise and supports. We have developed a new brand - Nexus Northwest -  to better reflect our growth and define our ambition.


    To support this new chapter we are also shifting away from "Meetup.com" - adding new communication channels over time to better suit how our community like to connect.  All are welcome here - both seasoned members and fresh newcomers - register below to help us shape the future! 

    Nexus Northwest is:
    • Your community to build personal and professional connections 
    • Your social technology-meetup with strategic purpose
    • Your community Nexus and pathway to continue growing our regional platform and evolve our vibrant ecosystem

    About Us

    "  Connecting people and ideas - shaping our future and the world around us   "

    Nexus NorthWest started life as ‘Sligo Tech Meetup’ back in 2014, offering opportunities to discover, discuss and deconstruct a broad range of technologies and their application environments.
     
    It has since evolved into  the premier tech-focused networking community in the Northwest - fostering a vibrant, cross-disciplinary ecosystem of talent and expertise in a very relaxed social and informative setting.

    This is the place where:
    • Remote and hybrid workers find new social connections
    • Technology leads and managers find peer support
    • Founders meet co-founders, talent and investors
    • State supports are highlighted for both startups and established businesses
    • FDIs and SMEs tap into a ready-skilled, motivated pool of talent and expertise
    • Students plug into real-world networks and pathways to employment


    This reflects our intention to envelop and harness the huge potential of the broader Northwest region, connecting people – first and foremost – then connecting innovative thinking and ideas to relevant supports and resources – creating an ecosystem that

    • Creates new collaborations and partnerships
    • Facilitates ideation and supports innovation
    • Fosters economic growth for the region
