About

Nyangala Zolho has been helping policymakers and the wider innovation community to share and learn from new ideas as part of the Innovation Growth Lab - with a focused effort on gearing policymakers towards experimental methods that can enable better decision making. Having previously worked within the intersection of human rights and technology, and as an avid advocate of interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral work that is mission driven, Nyangala has begun to develop tandem practices on decolonial futures; considering what this means for policy contexts. They work from within Science, Technology and Innovation, sectors, alongside the Creative and Cultural industries.
