General Assembly: Big Data, Cloud Services On The Curriculum As Tech Ed Startup Opens London Branch

general assembly londonGeneral Assembly, the New York-based education startup that offers classes and mingling space to tech developers and entrepreneurs, today officially opens its doors on its new London campus -- marking its first expansion outside the U.S., and part of a bigger international strategy that will see the Yuri Milner/Jeff Bezos-backed company also expand to Berlin in July.Adam Pritzker, one of GA's co-founders, says that London was an ideal first move abroad because the tech world here "has a lot of the same dynamics New York did 1-2 years ago." But that doesn't mean this will be a carbon copy of the original: he also says that GA wants to cater to the local clientele, and will be expanding its program accordingly.That will include a new emphasis on big data development and cloud services -- speaking more to the finance and finance tech community here in London, as well as other industries big in the city and ripe for technological innovation.
