TRUE INNOVATION in government is a team sport. Technology advances are critical, but they amount to little without 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:
• 10 RISING STARS Early-career leaders from government and industry.
• 8 INDUSTRY INNOVATORS

• 12 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.
