Dark Matter Labs was commissioned by UNDP to curate, co-design and co-deliver the 2018 Istanbul Innovation Days. The intent of putting the Next Generation Governance (#NextGenGov) agenda central at the Istanbul Innovation Days 2018 was to explore the future of the world’s governance challenges, and to debate how a new set of models are needed to address a growing ‘relevance gap’ in governance and peacebuilding.

Beyond collaboratively framing and curating the programme for the 350-person, 3-day event in November 2018, Dark Matter is involved in developing UNDP’s strategic innovation infrastructure to respond to the #NextGenGov challenges.
