Introduction
One of the key elements of the new structure is iHub Laboratory Capability(iHub) built by expanding the ACT Innovation Hub capability, managed now by the newly established Innovation Branch.The iHub provides a space to test hypotheses and solutions turning ideas into user-centric Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) through close collaboration of end users and developers. The Lab provides an incubator environment where ideas will come to life rapidly following the best practices of Agile DevSecOps from industry and the latest research from academia. The Lab operational model is being developed incrementally, and the close collaboration with all stakeholders will shape its culture, processes and toolset.The iHub will operate in a larger ecosystem of innovation-minded partners. To successfully coordinate innovation activities across partner networks it is essential to establish basic guidance and rules orchestrating interactions via a common framework. This framework will help to better capitalize on larger network capabilities, help avoid duplication of work, and promote reuse of products. The Agile DevSecOps culture that will be established within iHub will be promoted across NATO, while associated processes and toolsets will be easily adaptable by other NATO bodies. The iHub state-of-the-art capabilities will continuously be updated via knowledge transfer from the leading industries.
