Today, Basestation celebrates 12 years! 🎉 We started out as a coworking space, but we’ve grown into so much more. Many people call us the original innovation hub, and we won’t argue with that! Over the past 12 years, we’ve seen businesses start, grow and flourish. 🌱 We’ve supported hundreds of entrepreneurs through business support initiatives and events, creating an environment where ideas can thrive.
We’ve also been home to some remarkable innovations, including the region’s first-ever EV car-share business. It showed how shared electric vehicles could offer a practical alternative to car ownership, while supporting a more sustainable, circular approach to transport: making better use of resources.
We’re also proud to be home to Tinkd Makerspace, the region’s largest community makerspace. It isn’t tied to any single organisation or company: anyone with a curious mindset can join, take part and make use of the shared tools, equipment and community. Tinkd is a welcoming place to learn new skills, develop ideas and turn them into prototypes.
We’ve become a "Third Place" for many community groups, giving them a place to collaborate and connect, and we’re proud to have been home to countless businesses and their teams. It’s been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together. A huge thank you to everyone who’s supported us along the way!
Whether you’ve visited us as a guest, booked a meeting room or event space, used a hot desk or dedicated desk, had an office or team space with us, or joined one of our workshops, socials, or festivals, we value and appreciate every one of you.
If you’re in the area, pop in and say hello and share your memories!
