Our Managing Partner, Mohamad El Hinnawi, explores how innovation labs are evolving into critical mechanisms that bridge the gap between public ambition and private sector ex*****on.
From Saudi Arabia’s scale-driven transformation under Saudi Vision 2030, to the UAE’s agile, ecosystem-led model, and Qatar’s targeted, research-driven approach, the region is not lacking in vision or capital. The real challenge lies in orchestration i.e. aligning stakeholders, testing ideas in real-world environments, and scaling what works.
Innovation labs, when positioned correctly,translate strategy into action, align public and private actors, and accelerate the journey from concept to impact.
