Lab by Transport For Wales

Good morning innovators 🫡 The time is quickly approaching and with less than a week to good, we're full steam ahead for our coming demo day next Tuesday 15th July. The cohort has been hard at work for the last 10 weeks on an epic voyage of discovery to solve some of the biggest challenges we posed to them back in April. If you like to join us next week at Techniquest in Cardiff bay to see the fruits of their labour.

🚆 We had a fantastic time out in the field on Saturday, gathering insights ahead of pitch day with the Lab by Transport For Wales and Media Cymru Accelerator Programme. 📈 As part of our research, we travelled along the Heart of Wales Line Community Rail Partnership, speaking directly with Transport for Wales staff and passengers. These conversations were incredibly valuable and are playing a key role in shaping our project and upcoming pitch. ❤️ 🐶 A last-minute cancellation by our dog walker meant both our little four-legged team members joined us on the journey, proving that unexpected companions can lead to memorable moments and even more curious conversations! 🐶 We wrapped up the day in Swansea, just in time to see the Red Arrows soar overhead during the Welsh Airshow. A fitting end to an inspiring day of exploration and ideas. 💡 We’re excited to share our concept on how animation can enhance travel and tourism across Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Thank ewe to everyone we met and spoke to - it was a pleasure! 🙌 🐑 #Wales #Cymru #CreativeTech #TransportInnovation #TourismInWales #TfWLabs #MediaCymru #AnimationForChange #HeartOfWalesLine #UserResearch #WelshInnovation #PitchDayReady #StorytellingInTravel #DogsofLinkedIn #RedArrows #WelshAirshow

Good Morning innovators 🫡 We are now into week 8 of our accelerator programme and the focus from here on for the cohort shifts towards the final pitch presentation in a couple of weeks at Techniquest in Cardiff Bay.

The team are really looking forward to it 💪 The event is invite only and spaces are limited, so if you would like to attend please reach out via our DM's and we can forward an invite link from there.

🏆We’re delighted to share that the Core Valley Lines (CVL) Transformation Programme has been crowned Environment and Sustainability project of the year at the Railway Innovation Awards 2025.

Another happy customer 👊 The team really enjoyed this one. Super engaged group who had their minds challenged, as well as challenging each other in the best, most productive way imaginable 🫶. Some fantastic outputs for our commercial contracts and sustainability teams to take forward. These workshops are available to both internal teams at Transport for Wales as well as external businesses. So, if this is something that may be of interest to you, your team or your business, reach out via our DM's and book in a scoping call with one of our team 🙌 #innovation #problemsolving #openforbusiness Geoff Ogden Barry Lloyd Michael Davies Matthew Lewis Victoria Richards

Fantastic to see cohort 5 alumni Mark Smith 🚲 & Garance Locatelli still smashing it. Hard work breeds results 💪. Well done both 🙌

Want to help us build a more connected Transport Network in Wales? We're on the look out for someone to run (or walk, wheel or cycle if the clumsy analogy fits) our programme of activities to integrate sustainable transport modes, lead on skills development and generally make it easier for people to make end to end journeys without the car. If you think that could be you, we'd love to hear from you.

How goes innovators 🫡 Busy day for the team so far today. The innovation team facilitated a workshop first thing with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to help ideate solutions around the use of public transport to their office in Treforest. A challenging topic but lots of outputs captured and plenty to consider moving forward 💪. The team are now well on their way to London, curtesy of Great Western Railway (GWR) , for 2 packed days full of all things mobility at the MOVE: Mobility Re-imagined conference in the Excel. We'll be supporting Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government and Transport for Wales on stand 50 so pop on down if you fancy shooting the breeze around all things innovation 🙌. #innovation #MOVE:REIMAGINED #collaboration Barry Lloyd Michael Davies Matthew Lewis
