Turn complexity into public value.​

FASTlab is an independent R&D lab turning creativity into public value. We work where complexity lives—energy, health, and cities—and we measure what matters.

​

What we do

​

• Pilots that prove it
  Short cycles that move from question → field test → adoption, with clear measures of success.

• Tools you can reuse
  Playbooks, templates, and dashboards that make results portable across teams and regions.

• Aligned coalitions
  We bring industry, government, and community to the same table and keep them there.​

How we work (4 moves)

​

1) Co-brief: Define the problem with those affectedroles, risks, ethics, data.

2) Sprint: Field research → concepts → “provotypes” you can touch and test.

3) Pilot: Deploy in the real world. Measure what matters. Iterate.​

4)Share: Open case studies, dashboards, and talks—so others can replicate.​​

Selected work​

• Sustainnovation Challenge: sometimes the most powerful transformations happen when creativity is applied to culture 

• Healthy@Home: meaningful measures for ageing-at-home pathways

• Placemaking: interactive public-space infrastructure for engagement and safety

• The Elephant’s Leg II (open-access): 22 project case studies documenting methods in practice

Why it works
Creativity isn’t decoration—it’s our R&D engine.​ By fusing science, technology, art, and deep community engagement, FASTlab ensures every breakthrough is both human-centred and commercially viable — creating solutions that work and last.
