Learn about all the Public Sector Innovation winners
Connecting state and local government leaders
These 40 projects at the federal, state and local levels show just how transformative government IT can be.
Government rarely gets credit for the tremendous range of innovation it drives. But as the winners of our 2019 Government Innovation Awards make clear, amazing things are happening at all levels of the public sector.
The 40 Public Sector Innovations below include everything from AI-powered mission enablers to cloud-based reinvention to cybersecurity workforce development. In some cases, the technology itself is transformative, while in others creative use of readily available tools is the game-changer. All, however, show how IT and innovation can dramatically improve government.
We hope you enjoy learning more about each of these winners in the profiles below -- and that you're able to join us to celebrate them (along with the 2019 Rising Stars and Industry Innovators!) at the Nov. 7 Government Innovation Awards dinner.
