BBC Innovation Labs
The Innovation Labs are a series of creative workshops for interdisciplinary teams of professional creative technologists, application designers, software developers and interactive media designers, working across both Future Media & Vision platforms.
We are inviting independent companies from across England, Scotland and Wales to pitch ideas in response to a briefs set by New Media & Vision commissioners across the BBC.
Up to 10 projects in each of four regions - Scotland, North East England, North West England, and Wales & West Midlands - will then be selected to attend a 5-day long Lab. During the Lab, they will work with BBC commissioners and other mentors to develop the idea and prepare a final pitch. On the last day of the Lab, the ideas are pitched to the BBC commissioners for further development funding.
The funding will be agreed at the lab and ranges from a 'we'd love to talk to you some more - £2.5k' all the way to 'go build it, how much will it cost us?'. You'll know exactly what you're getting at the end of each lab.

Mae’r Innovation Labs yn gyfres o weithdai creadigol ar gyfer timau amlddisgyblaethol o dechnolegwyr creadigol proffesiynol, cynllunwyr rhaglenni, datblygwyr meddalwedd a chynllunwyr cyfryngau rhyngweithiol, yn gweithio ar draws llwyfannau Future Media & Vision.
Rydym yn gwahodd cwmnïau annibynnol o Loegr, Yr Alban a Chymru i gynnig syniadau sy’n ymateb i’r briffiau a luniwyd gan gomisiynwyr New Media & Vision ar draws y BBC.
Caiff hyd at 10 prosiect ym mhob un o’r pedair rhanbarth – Yr Alban, Gogledd Ddwyrain Lloegr, Gogledd Orllewin Lloegr a Chymru a Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr – eu dewis i fynychu Lab am 5 diwrnod. Yn ystod y Lab, byddant yn gweithio gyda chomisiynwyr y BBC a mentoriaid eraill i ddatblygu’r syniad a pharatoi cynnig terfynol. Ar ddiwrnod olaf y Lab, caiff y syniadau eu cynnig i gomisiynwyr y BBC ar gyfer cyllid datblygu pellach.
Cytunir ar y cyllid yn y lab ac mae’n amrywio o ‘byddai’n grêt trafod ymhellach - £2.5k’ yr holl ffordd i ‘ewch amdani, faint fydd yn ei gostio?’ Byddwch yn gwybod yn union beth fyddwch yn ei gael ar ddiwedd pob Lab. Am fwy o wybodaeth ewch i
