Innovation Hubs

Our Innovation Labs allow businesses to cultivate, prototype, and experiment with new ideas beyond their regular operations. The labs can be physical spaces, online environments or a combination of the two approaches. They foster creativity and experimentation by providing access to the advanced tools and technologies necessary for prototyping and testing. We design these inspiring environments to promote community engagement, learning, and making, facilitating the generation and exchange of ideas and solutions among ecosystem members.

• We tailor Innovation Labs to the specific needs of each client, but common configurations include:
• Corporate Innovation Labs: Internal centres in large corporations for creativity, new business models, and innovative products, focusing on industry challenges and emerging technologies.
• Government Innovation Labs: Established by government agencies to modernise services, enhance citizen engagement, and address societal challenges using technology and data analytics.
• Academic Innovation Labs: Located in universities, focusing on interdisciplinary research, collaboration with industry, and applying scientific discoveries to real-world problems.
• Collaborative Labs: Co-working spaces like QBIC or Studio 5, where start-ups share resources and collaborate, often found in incubators and accelerators.
