Urbano Network

www.urbanonetwork.co.uk

Urbano is an independent business networking community that grew out of Shoreditch, London, from the early 2000's and helps our membership of mainly small, medium and micro companies - and those that run and work for them - to connect, engage, share, learn, and together develop new business opportunities.

Urbano consists of different Communities: Build, Create, Finance, Host, Tech, UWACTE (Urbano Women In Architecture, Construction, Technology & Engineering), Work & Zero Carbon. Like the UK economy, the majority of our member companies work in the Build community sectors, but we are well represented with members in the other sectors, too.

We are also pro-active, making introductions outside of events between members where we see value. We also offer a range of member services, including Tenders & Opportunities Notices.
