Introducing local democracies
to the digital age

See the tool in action
Empower citizens. Increase transparency. Make better decisions.

Who are we?

CitizenLab was founded in 2015. We give cities and governments a digital participation platform to consult their citizens on local topics and include them in decision-making. We believe that empowering citizens can help governments make better decisions, improve trust and strengthen democracy.

We're a team of 15 people, based in Brussels. The team is a mix of developers and citizen participation experts, who are all passionate about citizen participation and innovation.
