To be confirmed before launch
Membership tiers, pricing, benefits and sponsor packages are being finalised and will be published in full before launch, alongside a transparent explanation of where money goes. Register your interest below and we will contact you when tiers open.
Where the money goes
The Architecture Brief is explicit that “community-funded” must not be used as a slogan without a transparent explanation of the funding model and reinvestment. This is that explanation.
Income comes from
Community memberships
Business memberships
Corporate sponsorship
Programme partnerships
Events and training
Voluntary contributions
Commercial partnerships
Income generated through the Hub
It is reinvested into
Founder and SME support
Clinics, mentoring and scale-up help at no cost to early-stage businesses.
Skills and placements
Routes from education into regional employers.
Regional promotion
Making the region’s cyber capability visible nationally.
Market access
Buyer introductions, procurement readiness and investment readiness.
We work with government, public bodies and institutional partners, but we are not dependent on a single controlling institution. Membership does not paywall the ecosystem: the directory, insights and regional calendar remain open to everyone.
Register your interest
Tell us who you are and how you would like to take part. We will be in touch when membership opens, and sooner if there is something we can help with now.
The Cluster belongs to the community that builds it.
