Social Innovation Lab

The Social Innovation Lab is an organising point for social innovators to create new ventures. The Lab works with the public and social organisations to build innovative solutions to social problems over three-to-six month engagements.

Design thinking, rapid prototyping, and user validation play an important role in the way we develop new projects. Projects can come from within or outside the lab and teams work on social innovations over engagements of three to six months. Project teams immerse themselves in the context where a problem is happening to gain insights directly from the people who are experiencing it. We prototype potential solutions to test the waters with users, beneficiaries, and other stakeholders.

The Lab collaborates with a network of local and regional designers, makers, and social sector partners on the ground in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
