Open Tech Calendar

The number of people renting in Scotland has doubled over the past ten years. New digital platforms are needed to improve quality of service and dispute resolution. Investors and Policy Makers need tools to support data driven decision making.

Join us for the Generation Rent Product Forge where technical and entrepreneurial minds will collaborate with the sector to develop new ideas that improve the renting experience.

You don’t need to arrive with an idea and you don’t need to be an expert. At our events, you can play a key role no matter your skillset or skill level - you just need to be passionate about making positive change.

You could start by thinking about how to collect, distribute and utilise data to help tenants, landlords, letting agents and local authorities to better log, track and resolve issues. Product Forge will shortly be providing access to various datasets including Shelter Scotland’s web analytics data and Helpline volume data, and housing data from National Records of Scotland.

All participants receive mentoring, 10 free meals and 24 hour access to the venue, and all teams can access support to develop their concept beyond the event.

Concession tickets available for Students and Product Forge Members.
