UDDIP LABS

Learning and innovation
through real work

Uddip Labs brings people together to explore problems, test ideas and build innovation capability through practical programmes and collaborative projects

THE LAB MODEL

Move beyond the
one-off workshop

A Labs engagement can begin with a workshop, continue as an open lab or challenge sprint, and develop into a dedicated project. The format depends on the people involved, the challenge and what the organisation wants to learn or build

Uddip Labs works with startups, businesses, educational institutions and ecosystem partners. Projects are scoped with the host organisation and shaped around its context
