Where our ideas become products.
The same team builds yours.
Labs is our tech-enabled division — building our own digital products and ventures, and partnering with startups to build theirs.
Ideas into apps, platforms, and tools.
Since 2015, Labs has been where Nowadays Orange turns ideas into apps, platforms, and tools. It’s also how we help founders: the same team that ships our products can prototype and build yours.
Labs sits next door to a media studio and a consulting practice. That is the point: every product we build gets a story and a strategy from the same house.
One team, ours and yours.
The people who ship WorkEng, Huautli, Algo Media and Dereau are the people who would ship your product. No hand-offs to a bench.
Strategy baked in from day one.
Our consulting practice is next door. Data, positioning and the decision of what to build come with the build. Nowadays Orange Consulting
Media craft on the same floor.
Trailers, launch films, the product’s voice in two languages — the studio that makes award-winning film and series makes them for the products too. Studio services

Early titleSave the Poles
An environmental mobile app teaching recycling rules through fun games — one of Labs’ early titles, and the one that set the pattern: a real problem, a playful answer.
Building something?
We help startups and SMEs prototype and build digital products — with strategy baked in from day one, thanks to our consulting practice next door.
- Prototype
From the napkin to something people can tap.
A working prototype before you commit to a build — so the first thing users see is the product, not a deck about it.
- Build
Apps, platforms, and tools, shipped.
The same team that ships our own products builds yours: from the first version to the one you launch on, and the one after that.
- Grow
The rest of the family, on call.
Strategy and data from Consulting, film and story from the Studio — the product gets a decision and a voice when it needs one, from the same house.
Discover
What to build, for whom, and why now — worked out with Consulting before a line of code.
Prototype
The idea made tappable, put in front of the people it is for.
Build
The product, built by the team that builds ours — app, platform or tool.
Launch and learn
Out the door with a story to tell, then the next version from what the first one taught us.
