Lab26
TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION LAB
About LAB26
Lab26, Technology Incubator was born on the idea to establish a Technology Innovation Lab with strong entrepreneurial culture for collaboration of students, academics, researchers and industry partners on real-life projects.
At Lab26 we innovate on different smart technology solutions, but all of them have to bring value to users and have to have a business opportunity.
But why we are different?
We are a combination of a technology lab, research institute and a business incubator but driven by entrepreneurial mindset when developing new technology solutions.
Our team is diverse and consists of designers, engineers, developers and business people. But special importance is given to young students, offering them new knowledge and opportunity for a better future.
How we are building the BETTER tomorrow?
It’s not just about the technology. It’s about creating value with it!
We are stimulating the creativity of young people, developing their competences and encourage them not to be just the developers, but to be TECH ENTREPRENEURS!
