We're Tesco Labs.

"At Tesco Labs, we embrace and navigate uncertainty, leveraging emerging technology, to disrupt and create the future of retail with our customers and colleagues."

Tesco has a proud track record of innovation and has dedicated teams to ensure we continue to focus in this area. Tesco Labs is the research and development team within Tesco Technology.

Our projects are typically ‘new to world’ or ‘new to retail’. We work across the Innovation Horizons, from nearer term opportunities to testing hypothesis in experimental, breakthrough innovation. Our aim is to create a culture of innovation by inspiring our colleagues and the wider community. 

Within Tesco, we work alongside the Group Innovation team. Group Innovation has a broader focus, spanning all aspects of our business, to realise new disruptive innovation opportunities that enhance what we do or how we do things. This team partners with Tesco Labs where that opportunity involves technology.
