## About

We are connecting our city. Free, open and secure. Joshua Peper and Mark Vletter joined the Things Networks cause to enable our region to innovate. It is very imporant that this network is free, open and secure. As we say in Groningen: Kon minder!

Get a Gateway, and join our cause to make the Things Network cover all of Groningen and let the innovation happen! We will also organise workshops and other meetup kind of stuff to get things going. Contact us if you have a great idea and need our help!
