List of Tech and Media Focused Corporate Innovation Labs

For many years, forward moving companies have been investing in innovation centers that are being used for companies to tap into new technologies, media,and devices.  I’m seeing a growing trend of companies outside of the tech space that are investing in these types of labs, and wanted to start a list that I will maintain for a period of time.  To keep things managable, here’s what I’m seeking:


List Requirements
The companies that will make this list must be within the following parameters. Feel free to leave comments of others.

  1. Corporations with over 1000 employees.
  2. Ideally, a lab with a dedicated physical location, resources and staff.
  3. A focus on technology and or media.
  4. Name, URL, and location if available.

  1. Question I am posing if branded corporate labs are actually places of real innovation and Nokia for me raises the point of how much on the edges these labs are currently working and their chances of influencing the core. It’s a pertinent study you’re doing.

  2. Jeremiah, is your limiting the list to companies with over 1000 employees purely one of not wanting to have a giant list? I’ve seen some smaller companies that have realized that they need to have a “Labs” team focused on innovation and potentially disrupting existing business models (including that of the parent company) and are doing some interesting work.

  3. eBay Inc has innovation labs in our NY and San Jose offices. We should get you down to check out the San Jose one that outlines how technology will change the future of shopping

  4. Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation is one of the best centers in health care delivery and innovation
