Networking Activities
The Innovation Centre:
The central hub of the Catalyst community at our headquarters in Belfast. The Innovation Centre caters for individuals with virtual tenancies, one-person businesses, start-ups, and larger companies requiring an entire office. With the main café, lounge and meeting rooms on-site, this space is designed to promote collaboration and networking for the entire Titanic Quarter campus.
White Star House:
White Star House is occupied entirely by the global corporation Citi. The building was one of the first to be built at our Belfast campus and was snapped-up quickly by its current members. The building is a landmark, with three prominent ‘bows’ on its front façade, equal in height to the three infamous ships built a few metres away by the White Star Line: Olympic, Britannic and of course, Titanic.
Concourse I / Concourse II / Concourse III / The Legacy Building:
Agile, serviced workspace solutions starting from a dedicated individual desk facility, all the way to entire floors for large companies. On-site services include catering facilities, bookable meeting rooms and conferencing facilities, free car-parking and public transport services to the City Centre.
ECIT:
The successful Science Park model was designed to integrate the three arms of the Knowledge Economy: industry, academia and government.
As part of Catalyst’s ongoing relationship with Northern Ireland’s research institutions, the ECIT building provides a state-of-the-art home for two of Queen’s University’s world-leading research bodies: ECIT, the Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology; and CSIT,the Centre for Secure Information Technologies – The UK’s Innovation and Knowledge Centre for cyber security research.
