A Lab is a creative hub located in the former Shell laboratory in the heart of Amsterdam, right across the central station. We combine the strength of Amsterdam's creative scene, technological prowess, social networks and free thinking spirit into a 5000m2 hothouse for bleeding edge experimentation. In our building you will find a community of 300 creative, innovative and social relevant Members that love to collaborate and experiment. We host creatives, technologists, social entrepreneurs and catalyze labs that are exploring the way we will live in the networked society. We spin out ideas, events and companies and have as much appreciation for success as for failure. Our communities are our strength, our location our inspiration, our programming our success. Want to be part? We have a wide range of programs, events and are always seeking (educational or cultural) crossovers. In our physical and virtual labs we bring together ecosystems that change the world. Want to join the family? http://a-lab.nl info@a-lab.nl @alab_ams
