Imagination Lab
A GBOX Programme

Where the next MENA transition is rehearsed.

The Imagination Lab is how GBOX works with governments, operators, and institutions on the futures they want to author — not the ones they inherit. It is the vehicle through which the capabilities and missions in our matrix become practice, prototype, and policy.

01

Foresight & Scenarios

Structured 2030, 2040, and 2050 scenario work for the transition — stress-tested against MENA climate, capital, and political realities.

02

Prototypes & Pilots

Short-cycle, live prototypes that turn transition ideas into testable instruments — policy, product, or institutional.

03

Capability & Practice

Fellowships, labs, and learning programmes that build the next generation of MENA transition practitioners — in Arabic, in the region.
