The Foundry is much more than just a desk and internet access, it’s an energising environment that fosters collaboration in a shared and supportive space. We offer the flexibility of a range of Coworking options designed to facilitate part time and full time entrepreneurs

The Foundry is a space that is both vibrant and creative. It is an environment that provides engagement, synergy and increased

productivity amongst a community of service providers, early stage start-ups and independent professionals who often find themselves working in isolation. The Foundry is a Coworking space established by East Belfast Enterprise


What we offer

The Foundry has been built with our clients in mind. We’ve specifically designed a stylish yet functional environment that manages to blend privacy with collaboration, offering space for 15 hot desks, two bespoke offices for small organisations; making this a truly incredible space for start ups, entrepreneurs and small businesses. Bespoke Studio

The Foundry also offers up a bespoke studio space for creatives who require that little bit extra, featuring a unique desk layout tailored specifically for artists, designers and those who need that little bit more space for design and paper based work.

When home isn’t the right place to work, study or get things done, we can help.🏡

Thanks to support from the Social Economy Incentive Fund, alongside match funding from East Belfast Enterprise, we’re offering a limited number of supported Community Hot Desk sessions for people across East Belfast.

Whether you’re studying, applying for jobs, updating your CV or taking the first steps with a business idea, you can access a quiet, professional workspace with reliable internet and a laptop if needed.

▪️ Mondays, Thursdays & Fridays
▪️ Up to 8 hours per person, split across multiple sessions
▪️ Laptop access available if required
▪️ Just 2 supported desks available per session
▪️ Open to East Belfast residents aged 18+

The aim is simple: to give people who don’t have the space, equipment or quiet environment at home somewhere they can focus and make meaningful progress.

Also, if you’d like to continue working from The Foundry after your supported hours, you’ll receive 20% off your first month of co-working membership.

Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance. If this could help you, or someone you know, visit our website to find out more and apply.

A strong Northern Ireland economy starts with strong local businesses.

Our Chair, Glyn Roberts, features in the August edition of Ulster Business, reflecting on the vital contribution locally owned and grown businesses make to our economy and communities.

As Glyn highlights, entrepreneurship, enterprise and creative hubs all have an important role to play in helping revitalise our high streets and town centres - creating spaces where new ideas can develop, businesses can grow and local economies can thrive.

At East Belfast Enterprise, this is something we see every day through the entrepreneurs and businesses we support, and we fully endorse the call for an environment that enables indigenous businesses to start, grow and prosper.

Read Glyn’s full article on pages 126–127 of the August edition of Ulster Business.
