No fluff. Just the conversations that need to happen.

Online communities for
collaborative innovation.

Communities thrive when conversations turn into action. Most platforms stop at introductions, leaving knowledge scattered and collaboration unfinished.

Typical innovation communities bring together experts, startups, academics and policymakers, who care about solving important problems for society. But here’s the catch: most innovation communities today are just meeting places.

People connect, but the real innovation happens later, in silos, offline. There’s no structured space to continue the work together. No shared tools, no momentum, no way to track and grow the ideas that were sparked.

Innovation doesn’t need introductions, it needs infrastructure.

It needs digital environments that support structured collaboration: shared goals, tools to co-create, ways to track progress, and spaces to keep working together over time.

Spaces, our dedicated innovation platform, enhances and encourages discussion, connection and action via collaborative spaces and AI knowledge gathering & research tools.

The guiding principles behind Spaces.

Innovation communities shouldn’t feel like social networks. Most platforms today are weighed down by complexity, noise, and old ideas of what “community” should be. They reward quantity over quality, and bury expertise in endless feeds and threads.

Spaces takes a different approach. We’ve stripped things back to three guiding principles — simple, purposeful foundations designed to help communities innovate, not just interact. By focusing on what really matters, Spaces creates an environment where expertise is visible, collaboration is structured, and ideas can grow into real impact.

Focused spaces for innovation and collaboration

Create purpose-driven hubs where conversations don’t just happen — they progress. Each focused space is designed to capture knowledge, structure discussions, and turn ideas into tangible outcomes. No more scattered threads or fleeting meetings: everything your community needs to move forward, in one place

Meaningful connections built on expertise and shared goals

Spaces makes it easy to connect with the right people, not just more people. Profiles highlight skills, interests, and current projects, so members can quickly find collaborators who share their mission. The result? Partnerships and projects that are rooted in expertise and aligned ambition

The ability to spark new ideas using knowledge with the community

Your community is full of insights — Spaces helps you surface and shape them. AI-powered tools gather knowledge from discussions, highlight emerging trends, and help members build on each other’s contributions. Innovation becomes less about chance encounters and more about structured breakthroughs 

Transform your website into an innovation hub

From expert connections to AI-powered knowledge search, every feature in Spaces is designed to make collaboration smarter and more purposeful.

Spaces integrates seamlessly into your website

With no need for separate platforms or fragmented logins. It sits natively within your digital presence, maintaining a consistent brand experience and making it easy for members to engage.

Make the most out of hard-earned traffic and brand recognition

Your website is already where stakeholders, customers, and partners come to understand your vision. By embedding Spaces directly, you turn passive visitors into active participants in your innovation ecosystem.

Bring potential customers into your innovation ecosystem and keep them engaged throughout their lifecycle

Spaces isn’t a side channel — it’s an extension of your organisation. It creates a continuous journey, from discovery and first contact through to collaboration, feedback, and long-term engagement.

Become a focal point / archive for innovation programmes comms and events

From workshops to grant programmes, Spaces acts as a living record of your innovation efforts. It centralises event content, announcements, and programme updates so your community always knows where to look.

How we compare

Traditional community platforms mimic social networks – noisy, scattered, and unfit for real collaboration. Spaces is different: it keeps knowledge organised, connections meaningful, and innovation moving forward.

Traditional community platforms

Discussions are fragmented & hard to find
They happen in linear threads where valuable insights quickly disappear.

Typical platforms reward quantity over quality
The loudest rather than most insightful voices dominate & relevancy takes a back seat.

Lack of meaningful co-creation tools
Brainstorm new ideas & innovation partnerships with community members

Separate platforms gives a disjointed experience
Separate tools lead to low engagement an inconsistent brand experience and poor visibility of your services.

Instantly find insights across discussions
AI search puts community knowledge at your fingertips.

Spaces focuses on quality & relevancy
Focused, purpose driven spaces and AI driven expertise matching is design for beneficial discussions &connections over self-promotion.

Create shared documents and visual maps
