The
2020 Government Innovation Awards
A celebration of the government projects, individual change agents and industry partners that are transforming public- sector IT

Innovation in government can take many forms. It can involve cutting-edge technologies, clever “bureaucracy hacks” or simply outstanding individual effort. To truly have an impact, though, every innovation needs a mission-driven vision, the support of talented industry partners and the individual change agents who can turn ideas into action.
The Government Innovation Awards reflect that collaboration. This year’s winners include:
12 Rising Stars — early-career leaders from government and industry.
16 Industry Innovators — firms that are bringing game-changing solutions to their government customers.
21 Public Sector Innovations — projects from all levels of government that not only improve mission delivery but reimagine what’s possible.
Each winner’s story is different, but the collective message is clear: The discovery and innovation occurring today are truly impressive, and we should be grateful to have so many innovators committed to making government work better.
