About this space
A place to settle in and get things done.
Innovation Connect — Halpern House is a University of Portsmouth coworking hub in Portsmouth, created for start-ups, entrepreneurs, SMEs, remote workers and growing businesses. Its central setting provides a professional base for working, meeting clients and connecting with other organisations. Members can choose from hot-desking and dedicated full-desk options, while private offices and team desk arrangements support businesses as they grow. The workspace is complemented by meeting rooms, breakout areas and communal lounge spaces, making it suitable for focused individual work as well as collaborative sessions. The facilities include high-speed Wi-Fi, shared kitchens with complimentary tea and coffee, secure bike storage, presentation-equipped meeting rooms and a podcast room with recording equipment. Meeting rooms are also available to non-members, providing a practical option for external teams and clients. What distinguishes Halpern House is its connection to the University of Portsmouth and Barclays Eagle Labs. Members can access business guidance, mentoring, workshops, networking opportunities, university expertise and wider facilities. Regular community activities, including social events, help create a welcoming atmosphere for people who want more than a desk and value useful connections around them.
