Join us
We’re a membership community for existing worker co-ops in tech, digital, creative or adjacent services. We’re also a hub for co-operatively minded individuals who are interested in what we do.
For existing tech co-ops
If you’re a worker-owned co-operative providing digital or technical services in the UK, we’d love you to join CoTech.
Our membership is via the workers.coop federation. It costs 0.1% of your labour costs from the last financial year (min. £150 + VAT). You get all workers.coop benefits plus CoTech’s sector-specific ones.
