One year into our strategic partnership with @wearedefence, Paul Jenkinson reflects on the progress made and what comes next.
From product development to new government opportunities, the partnership is helping advance sovereign AI across defence, national security and policing.
12 months ago, Defence Holdings and @whitedotspace entered into a strategic partnership.
To mark the anniversary, Defence Holdings CEO Andrew Roughan and Whitespace CEO Paul Jenkinson sat down to discuss the progress made over the past year and what comes next.
From the development of Project Strong and Ixian to UK Government customer engagements and the recently announced work with Gloucestershire Constabulary, the conversation covers the growing breadth of activity being delivered through the partnership.
They also look ahead to further product development, expanding customer opportunities and the role of sovereign AI across defence, national security and policing.

Mattermost is at Eurosatory this week as part of the Microsoft partner ecosystem for defence digital transformation.
Visit our team on the @Microsoft booth in Hall 4 G286 to see how mission-ready collaboration can support secure, trusted information exchange from HQ to the tactical edge.
We’ll be showcasing the sovereign, AI-enhanced, data-centric, and post-quantum-secure operational collaboration capability developed with @arch_tis, Arqit, and @whitedotspace.
Together with Microsoft’s wider partner ecosystem, these capabilities help defence teams coordinate, decide, execute, and learn at mission tempo across connected, disconnected, and contested environments.

Operational AI in defence cannot live in isolation. It needs to work where mission teams already coordinate, decide, act, and learn.
Mattermost and @whitedotspace are partnering to advance secure collaboration and sovereign AI capabilities across defence and national security environments.
The partnership brings together Mattermost’s mission-critical collaboration platform and Whitespace’s Collective sovereign AI operating system to help connect information, decision-making, operational action, and organisational learning within trusted mission environments.

During military deployments, critical operational knowledge is often fragmented across reports, systems and units. Lessons are delayed, siloed or lost before they can inform future operations.
That problem is exactly what Saga is designed to address 🧵
By deploying Saga on Oracle Roving Edge Devices, the Royal Navy can run AI-enabled learning workflows in disconnected and contested environments, without compromising data sovereignty, security or auditability.
No reach-back required.
Mission-ready AI isn’t about experiments in the lab. It’s about trusted capability, deployed where operations actually happen.

Whitespace secures Series A to scale UK-built sovereign AI - $13m (£10m) investment to accelerate Collective
We’re excited to share a major milestone in Whitespace’s journey 🧵
Over the last decade, we’ve grown from a small engineering team in Belfast into one of the UK’s leading innovators in sovereign AI.
Today, our technology is already deployed across critical live environments, supporting some of the nation’s most complex and high-risk operations.
This investment strengthens our ability to scale engineering, delivery, customer success and leadership capacity across the UK and internationally.
