StatVentures Industry Day

StatVentures Information Sessions

Join Us to Learn About The Opportunity Project!

The Opportunity Project (TOP) is an initiative of the Census Open Innovation Labs that brings together technologists, government, and communities to co-create digital products that serve individuals and communities nationwide. Each year, federal agencies, local governments, and NGOs serve as sprint leaders, identifying high-priority challenges and facilitating 12-week technology development sprints that bring together these cross-sector collaborators. To date, 175+ data-driven digital products have been created, addressing challenges including ocean plastic pollution, economic mobility, youth homelessness, entrepreneurship, and more.

Join us on February 16th to learn more about the TOP program and how to get involved as a sprint leader in 2022!

StatVentures & How to Apply

StatVentures scouts technology through collaborations with innovators outside government to ensure the U.S. Census Bureau provides quality data more efficiently, creatively and effectively.

Through staged challenges, Census Open Innovation Labs (COIL) will source, iteratively test, and fund cutting-edge technologies and ideas from industry and the public.

StatVentures Information Sessions

These one-hour events covered relevant background and context on COIL, StatVentures, and how to join our first cohort: the Supply Chain Challenge. We reviewed requirements for submissions, explained how concept notes will be judged, and answered questions.

To submit a question, please write to statventures@census.gov.

All information sessions were recorded and posted on Challenge.gov.
