Innovation for a healthy, sustainable and equal world.
InfinityLab is a social impact center creating new careers by giving people the tools and support to introduce innovation that enhances society.
How it works
Companies are interested in building their social impact and in communicating and quantifying this.
InfinityLab provides seminars, and a program that gives organisations the ability to build their social impact and secure the value in this.
InfinityLab seminars focus on the disruption and opportunities arising out of changes in technology and society. That is, how innovation can make a significant difference in enhancing our lives but, if not used wisely, will have a dramatic social impact.
The InfinityLab Implementation program creates new careers by giving people the tools and support to introduce innovation that enhances society.
InfinfityLab brings together:
- Organisations wanting to make a difference,
- People with experience seeking new & meaningful careers and
- Innovation already proven in other markets.
Innovation is selected in conjunction with sponsoring organisations and implementation teams.
Implementation teams then validate innovation that proven in other markets.
The validation part of the program runs for twelve weeks at the end this, the innovation and implementation teams, are assessed.
If the assessment is positive, the team commences introducing the innovation.
InfinityLab provides ongoing support for nine months, as an internal FP&A group/advisory board
Team members receive an income for the duration of the program, and have equity in their new venture.
