Innovation

Turning ideas into prototypes that work

Innovation at Campaign Lab starts with listening – to campaigners on the ground, volunteers at our hack nights, and the needs emerging across the progressive ecosystem. From there, we get building.

Whether it’s a bot that trains first-time canvassers, a tool that helps voters hold their MP accountable, or a system for tracking billions in council spending, our community of technologists and organisers turns ideas into prototypes that solve real problems.

We don’t innovate for innovation’s sake. We focus on what’s useful, what’s scalable, and what meets campaigners where they are – and we build in partnership every step of the way.
