Innovation sprint is a set of design-based workshops, that aim to research, define as well as provide and test solutions to a complicated issue. The sprints happen co-creatively with diverse affected parties. In the span of 8 to 10 weeks, the participants meet in 5 to 6 workshops, which are guided by a neutral outside expert – the facilitator.

The method of the workshops allows teams to gain unique knowledge on the issue from the perspective of various affected parties, as well as test possible solutions in a safe environment. Teams come to the Laboratory with an issue and leave with a tested prototype.
