Innovation Living Lab

The DesignTech Hub represents a world-class living lab destination for the innovation ecosystem when the theme is design, to shape and implement a transformative vision for the sector.

Rapid prototyping

Dedicated facilities such as coworking and cofactory designed to support rapid prototyping of new circular and digitally enabled design solutions from corporates and startups.

MVP Building

We support our corporate partners to initiate and run successful pilot collaborations with startups, by creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that can validate the proposed new solution within MIND and then scale, providing workplace and infrastructure, as well as mentoring over a period of 3 to 6 months.


Do you have a product to test or promote?

Companies can send us products to be tested. Our community is built around early adopters that tend to be very active on social media.
Our sponsors get highly focused feedback and promotion, and we enjoy the future before anybody else.
