Join us for “Shift Happens,” the series’ opening event!

Labs Galaxy is an internal Sigma Software community created by Sigma Software Labs to help our specialists transform their ideas into impactful projects through mentorship, networking, and knowledge sharing. This initiative inspires innovation by providing a structured platform where bold ideas can grow into viable solutions.

We’ve launched Labs Galaxy — a new internal community at Sigma Software for people who think in “what ifs” and act on bold ideas.

Our first meetup within the community is Shift Happens.

This won’t be another lecture or a formal talk. It’s a space to explore how real innovation happens: when someone dares to break the rules, take a risk, and turn an idea into something that works.

Why Join Shift Happens. Smash the Norm, Shape What’s Next.

Innovation isn’t just about ideas – it’s about making them happen. At this meetup, you’ll explore how bold tech products are built, hear what it really takes to break into the market, and get insights from founders who’ve already made it happen — in AI, aerospace, automation, and more.

We’ll dive into startup journeys, bold moves, and breakthrough moments — and show how change can become your best tool.

What’s coming up?

An open debriefing with those who’ve launched breakthrough tech products — from startup founders to company leaders and bold tech builders. Real stories of risks, pivots, and wins that changed the game. 

Asking tough questions that are interesting to explore together:

• What approach in our industry is already outdated?
• What would you create if you had an unlimited budget?
• What is the technology that will change our future?

Actual examples of innovation — from autonomous drones to AI solutions in logistics

60 minutes — 3 thematic blocks — no fluff, but an explosion of ideas

The most important thing is inspiration. Everything great starts with an inner ‘what if…’
