This page carries the live progress of Aberdeen Dream.scot CIC — a working record, updated as the projects move forward.
Where the company stands today
- 28 July 2026 — Aberdeen Dream.scot CIC incorporated at Companies House (company no. SC897944): a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee, with an asset lock and no dividends.
- October 2026 — the public website is live: a fully custom, openly-built theme with a 3D night sky, a square tile index and a centre reading window, designed to WCAG AA accessibility with reduced-motion respected throughout.
- October 2026 — a private cloud workspace is running for documents and project files, alongside the technical department foundations: the register of open solutions, local talents and cooperatives for the Aberdeen area.
- In progress — the data protection and privacy policy aligned with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018; the first technical projects in robotics, drones and microelectronics; the sandbox testing environment for the website.
- Next — the first pro-civic competitions for young people aged 16–25, pilot workshops on open source and local AI with Aberdeen businesses, and the foundations of the first youth cooperatives under the CIC umbrella.
How the company works
The CIC operates like a kernel: the founder provides free advisory only, and independent cooperative projects grow around the company, self-governed and decided at general assemblies. Every young person who joins a project learns a professional field — from accounting and law to electronics engineering and AI — building real capability over a five-to-ten-year perspective.
