‍The ambition of Community Lab is to connect citizens and communities with the information, knowledge, networks and tools that empower them to be the difference. PathwAI Scotland reflects the tools we are building to navigate and harness Scotland's ecosystems. As part of that we look to collectively create context-rich, coherent & deep experiences for those with an idea, challenge, skill or need.
