The Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) has launched an innovation hub to accelerate cross-Government collaboration and digital innovation.
In a statement, the DTA said the co-Lab innovation hub would be based in Sydney,
“Our co-Lab is a dedicated place for teams across Government to work on products in partnership with the DTA and private sector specialists,” the statement said.
“The co-Lab team is led by DTA digital experts across content design and strategy, service design, user research, accessibility and agile delivery.”
It said the co-Lab would host three types of tailored programs in the space to make sure teams were getting the best outcomes.
These were single day sessions for teams to share and learn from others; multi-week sessions for testing solutions or creating proofs-of-concept, and residencies for problem-solving initiatives that might span months.
“Spaces like the co-Lab allow us to bring together Agencies and align our efforts to design better Government services for people and businesses,” DTA said.
“We hope that the shared environment of co-Lab will create new partnerships, conversations and ways of working.”
DTA said the launch in Sydney was just the beginning.
“We’re looking forward to launching a second co-Lab space in Canberra towards the end of the year.”
It invited potential participants to get more information by contacting [email protected].
