Challenges

At LMI, we believe that bridging government with innovative outside thought leadership is key to solving today’s toughest challenges.

 

Our annual challenges connect forward-thinking entrepreneurs, global change agents, and the next generation of leaders from university campuses to crowdsource actionable insights. By deeply partnering with academia and engaging government champions in the process, we ensure that innovation isn’t just inspired but accelerated. 

 

Together, we’re expanding the horizon of what's possible for government missions, leveraging the collective expertise of our broad ecosystem to fuel change.
