While the LAB understands the importance of a good idea, that doesn't stop them from considering what it means to put those ideas into plan and see what results come out of them. Based in London, United Kingdom and Mexico, this independent organization works to sustain social impact through a solution-oriented approach to problem-solving.
Here, collaboration becomes a key mechanism for making it all happen -- and happen successfully. The Lab was founded in September 2012 as a way to connect various actors including business, academia, entrepreneurs and governmental institutions.
