Innovation Lab Wales

Description

Innovation Lab Wales is a university-based lab at Swansea University that builds collaboration between researchers, companies, and community partners to develop technology projects producing research opportunities and stakeholder impact. Its team of academics, commercial advisors, and developers helps translate ideas into working technology, from consultation and ideation through to full-stack proof-of-concept software. For the academic community, the software solutions the Lab builds can fuel research and serve as a foundation for commercialisation and spin-out. For local and regional business partners, the Lab co-creates web-based software solutions that leverage university expertise. The Lab currently focuses on humanities research and impact projects aimed at building solutions for a more informed, empathetic, and sustainable world. Its work is also supported by LegalTech research developed by the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law, covering areas including legal analytics and data science, regulation of new technologies, digital rights, algorithmic justice, blockchain and smart contracts, and the accessibility of LegalTech research. The Lab offers services spanning discovery workshops, dry and live prototyping, full-stack MVP development, and ongoing support.
