Our Company

Whitespace is a team of researchers, engineers, innovators, creatives and technologists who design, develop and build new ideas and products for organisations to solve their tricky problems. We were founded in 2016 as a tech start-up based in Belfast & London. In 2019 we won Digital DNA's Company of the Year and the Digital Innovation Project of the Year in 2022.

Today we have nearly 50 employees and are continuing to grow and flourish!

We help businesses innovate, from the small things that can make a big difference to more-involved 'Eureka!' projects. We work with global clients to develop products, markets and ventures that will change things for the better. So when the future rolls around, they’re ready.

Our Mission is to feed our hunger and curiosity by building a sustainable tech company in the constant pursuit of excellence.

Our Vision is to empower people with the courage to solve seemingly impossible challenges.

Whitespace has 3 core work streams:

Innovation Community: We provide a safe space for innovators and leaders to communicate, network, and swap ideas.

Innovation Lab: Together, we use our skills to solve existing problems and find new answers. And then we build the tech.

Leading-edge Technologies (IP): We have some pretty cool tech to share with the world. We take collaboration and decision-making to new heights.

We also believe our people come first, that's why we're proud of the culture at Whitespace. Our teams are given the tools and information they need to do their jobs and the freedom to get on with it! We have some cool perks too: 4 days working weeks in December & August, the last Friday of every month off, a monthly team breakfast and regular social gatherings.
