Think Lab

Business

ThinkLab is a network of makerspaces where members may learn about digital technologies and put their ideas into functioning prototypes and solutions in a hands-on atmosphere.

The Think Lab initiative is designed to promote rapid prototyping by providing easy access to the maker space and all of its equipment, as well as active mentorship and training.

The ThinkLab will first focus on the creation of prototypes that may be used by registered entrepreneurs as well as the general public. For the creation of specialized tools/products, a developer group will be formed, along with student interns. This can be tested by the incubators in question, and they can use under certain conditions.
