Innovation Lab

Design Thinking That Gets Results | Our iLab is built on serious design thinking fundamentals. We brainstorm ideas and then we build them. Through intensive workshops and rapid prototyping, we’re rolling up our sleeves with our customers to dig deep and create solutions that solve real problems. No theory, just practice. 

Where Collaboration Meets Hustle | The iLab is where the magic happens – collaboration that brings together Kentro’s best minds with our federal partners. Here’s what makes us different: 

• We don’t just ideate – we build, test, and rebuild until we get it right 

• Our teams move fast and break things (in a good way) through hands-on experimentation 

• We demo through to success – your feedback is absolutely essential to our process 

• We tackle the tough problems head-on, no matter how complex 

Building Tomorrow’s Solutions Today | Anyone can talk about innovation. At Kentro, we create solutions that stand up to the test of time.  

• We see problems coming before they hit and build solutions ahead of point of need 

• Every solution we create is built to scale and adapt 

• We’re not interested in quick fixes – we’re here for lasting impact 

• Our teams are always learning, always pushing, always growing

Where Top Talent Comes to Make an Impact | Want to work with the best? The iLab is where exceptional talent comes to do exceptional things. We’re building a community of innovators who: 

• Push past comfort zones every single day 

• Learn by doing, failing, and winning 

• Work alongside industry experts who’ve been in the trenches 

• Create real change in federal missions 

The Kentro Estelle Innovation Lab isn’t just about thinking differently – it’s about doing differently. Ready to build something amazing? Let’s get to work.

Note: Pinakin Patel, Kentro CEO, named the Kentro Estelle iLab in honor of Maj. Raymond Estelle II. Major Estelle, an Airman and mentor assigned to Headquarters Air Combat Command. Maj. Estelle died at the Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered from gunfire (Bronze Star Medal awarded posthumously). His legacy inspires our mission to innovate and create solutions that drive meaningful change.
