The Solution

The world's most curious minds, in the room with your hardest unsolved problem.

A curated, neuroscience-designed experience that gives brilliant people permission to be weird, wrong, and brilliant.

Curated

Hand-scouted founders, scientists, artists, operators.

Curious

Designed to trigger novelty, play, and divergent thinking.

Consequential

Real problem in, real prototype out — within 30 days.

The Heritage

Built on Lab 1.0 — innovation, live on stage.

Lab 1.0 started inside Panasonic as a focused-innovation format inspired by TED Talks and A&E's Iconoclasts — designed to correct the broken risk/reward profile of corporate innovation.

Each event opened a sealed envelope on stage and challenged speakers to re-imagine the object inside, live, in front of investors, operators, and customers.

Lab 2.0 takes that DNA — curated rooms, sharp speakers, real prototypes — and rebuilds it around modern neuroscience.
