At Creators Co-Lab, we recognize that traditional innovation struggles to keep pace with today’s most pressing challenges: sustainability, digital transformation, geopolitical shifts, and climate change. We are seeking companies eager to collaborate across industries with like-minded professionals, who understand that slow processes, siloed efforts, and missing key players often lead to delays and missed opportunities.

We believe that faster collaboration and structured support are essential to transforming ideas into impactful solutions. That's why we created Creators Co-Lab; an ecosystem designed to accelerate cross-industry co-innovation. Ready to make an impact? There's a spot for you with us!

We believe in a collaborative and open innovation ecosystem where all participants work together towards common goals.

We are forward-thinking and creative, constantly seeking new ways to solve problems and drive innovation.

Our focus is on problem-focused innovation, finding solutions to real-world challenges.

We prioritize acting fully compliant with laws and regulations, ensuring ethical practices in all our endeavors.

We are responsible and responsive to feedback, constantly seeking to improve and grow our ecosystem.

We act ecosystem-centric instead of company-driven, prioritizing the collective success over individual achievements.

We are committed to participation, interaction, and constructive change, using agile methodologies to drive progress.

Trust is essential in our ecosystem, with a belief in the deciding power of the group and a commitment to expert involvement where required.

We value open and direct communication, appreciate diverse perspectives, and are always striving for correct, reliable, and business-oriented outcomes.

The Creators Co-Lab Journey unfolds in three distinct phases: Scouting, Explorer, and Pioneer.

  • Scouting Phase: This pre-program phase is completely free and allows companies to explore potential collaboration topics and use cases. There is no commitment to join the full program at this stage.
  • Explorer & Pioneer Phases: These phases make up the official program, focusing on problem understanding, definition, and exploration of use cases. This is followed by business case development and user-centric testing. The program culminates in a graduation event where participants present the results of their 4-month work to both their peers and top management from the participating companies.
