Many technology innovation hubs are developing impactful, locally relevant civic tech solutions to pressing commercial and social issues. This research examines technology innovation hubs in Africa and Asia, discussing their latent, but recognised, potential to play a more overt role in promoting social change through contributing to the ‘thickening’ of local democratic space and policy cocreation. It concludes with a set of lessons for hubs, funders and policy-makers.
