Software company Kainos Group plc (often known as simply Kainos or Kainos Software) is headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and focuses on creating IT solutions for corporations and other organizations. In addition to being part of the FTSE 250 Index, it is also traded on the London Stock Exchange.

On April 14, 1986, Fujitsu and the Queen's University of Belfast's business incubation unit (QUBIS Ltd.) teamed up to form Kainos. Frank Graham, creator of Kainos, was named managing director in January 1987, and the company's first office was located in the QUBIS building on Malone Road in Belfast.

In 1994, Kainos spawned Lagan Technologies, a software provider for municipal governments in the United Kingdom and the United States. In 2010, it was purchased by Kana Software of the United States. In 1997, as a result of the company's growth, Kainos established a second headquarters in Upper Crescent, Belfast, and a second set of offices in Mount Charles.
