Novum has been around for 3 years. In these 3 years, we have managed to develop into a successful innovation lab within the Dutch government, in which we now tell ministries how best to innovate within the government. There is a strong sense of team within our lab. And that while in practice we often work solo or in duos on our experiments.

De ervaringen van 3 jaar innovatielab

The experiences of 3 years of innovation lab

Novum's birthday, we are 3 years old!

Probably there is regular talk about innovation in the organization where you work. You probably wouldn't describe your organization as innovative. One way to achieve innovation, which has been used regularly in recent years, is to start an innovation lab. Also 3 years ago we set up an innovation lab at the Social Insurance Bank called Novum. How do you make an innovation lab a success?

Secure Multi-Party Computation

Secure Multi-Party Computation

There are innovative technical solutions to generate the functionality of a shared database without having to reveal the data. One of those solutions is Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC). This 'toolbox' of cryptographic techniques makes it possible for multiple parties to collectively count on data as if they had a shared database. At the same time, they can never see each other's data with mathematical certainty. With this 'toolbox' organizations connect the most sensitive databases securely. This paves the way for all kinds of new products and services that were previously thought impossible. TNO is conducting research with multiple parties into MPC and its applications. In addition to MPC, other privacy enhancing techniques are also being investigated.
