Venture Café is a global network connecting innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem builders. Operating in over 15 locations worldwide, they provide spaces for people to gather, share ideas, and build meaningful relationships.

Venture Café Edinburgh launched last November in partnership with the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA), with the aim of bridging the gap between key players in Edinburgh's innovation ecosystem and building communities that drive positive social impact. Through carefully curated programming, they bring together researchers, founders, creatives, corporates, academics, investors, government, and talent to co-create and build the future of science and technology in the UK.
