Connecting our community through The Wire – a new digital platform for innovators

October 17th 2025

We’re excited to share that Oxford Innovation Space has launched The Wire – a brand-new digital platform created to connect more than 900 businesses across the UK and Ireland that call our innovation centres home.

As part of the Oxford Innovation Space network, businesses based here at The Catalyst now have exclusive access to this dynamic online space – designed to help entrepreneurs collaborate, share knowledge, connect with potential partners and access expert-led business advice.

Through The Wire, you can:

  • Join conversations with other innovators across the UK
  • Take part in live sessions with business experts and industry leaders
  • Access a library of resources designed to help your business grow
  • Build connections that spark new ideas and partnerships

This platform has been developed in direct response to feedback from businesses like yours – and it’s already creating exciting new opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Here’s what one of our members, Nick Collins, Founder of iDFitness Group from Theobalds Enterprise Centre, had to say:

“The Wire has been a game-changer for my business. Having access to the network and its dedicated business support team not only connects me with vital information and like-minded businesses, but also means my entrepreneurial mindset is truly celebrated and supported.”

The launch of The Wire reinforces what our innovation community is all about – collaboration, connection, and shared growth.

If you’re a member of our centre, make sure to log in and start exploring The Wire today – and see how your connections can help take your business to the next level. If you need access just get in touch with the centre team today!
