We put our vision for government into practice through learning partner projects that align with our values and help reimagine government so that it works for everyone.
Although Switzerland enjoys some of the highest levels of trust in government and strong public services, the country has so far not had a place to bring together conversations around government innovation.
staatslabor, a new government innovation lab, has been launched to fill this void. It will work alongside government entities across the country to help them learn from each other and harness the government innovation know-how that’s already been accumulated elsewhere.
staatslabor was launched in the presence of Jörg de Bernardi, the country’s Vice Chancellor, and Sabine Junginger, a Fellow at the Hertie School of Governance and member of MindLab’s advisory board. The lab is funded by philanthropic fund Engagement M, and supported by the Centre for Public Impact and Impact Hub Berne, a social innovation incubator. We’re excited to be supporting this initiative. If you’d like to know more about staatslabor or have some ideas for what it should focus on first, please get in touch.
