Whitespace Innovative

Whitespace Innovative is an applied engineering laboratory that utilizes an agile, iterative design methodology they term Design Practice. The company offers services across three primary areas: Science to Market, which bridges the gap between scientific discovery and industrial application; Fractional Engineering, providing engineering resources and expertise to mid-sized firms; and Government Contracts, which support the development of virtuous technologies through collaborative agreements. Their capabilities include electromechanical and electrochemical system development, precision data acquisition, and rapid prototyping, supported by in-house fabrication facilities including machining, welding, and printing.

By shortening the distance between design and laboratory testing, Whitespace Innovative assists clients in navigating complex research and development challenges. They provide support for specialized applications ranging from direct air capture and nuclear tools to thermal reaction systems. The firm aims to improve project outcomes by preventing costly delays, optimizing experimental design, and focusing on lean testing strategies that identify necessary design data while avoiding unproductive development paths. Their approach prioritizes iterative improvement over rigid, linear project structures.
