Clarity first then a practical solution, at speed
Israel's civic sector holds no shortage of complex challenges — and no shortage of people who know exactly what needs fixing. The Innovation Lab brings field professionals together with elite, interdisciplinary tech squads from Code for Israel to scope the real need, understand it deeply, and reach a practical solution — fast. Through structured discovery and rapid prototyping, we turn ambiguity into a clear, validated direction before any production build begins.
The CFI model for Innovation Labs
Ecosystem-Wide Collaboration
We design labs for single large entities like government ministries or orchestrate cross-arena initiatives that harness government, municipalities, civic society and philanthropy.
Powered by the CFI Vault
We leverage the CFI Vault - our unique repository of years of data on field gaps and needs - to precisely define and target the most critical challenges.
Guaranteed Continuity
We do not just build prototypes and walk away. Every insight and MVP integrates into our continuous workflow or a dedicated call for proposals to ensure your solution is fully developed, maintained and put to use by our partners.
Our Signature Process
Every lab runs on our proven method — deep discovery to truly understand the problem, structured scoping, rapid prototyping, and a clear path to production. No assumptions, no guesswork: just a rigorous process that turns ambiguity into a practical, validated solution.
