Join the StatVentures information sessions to learn more about Phase 2 of the Supply Chain Challenge on September 25 and October 17Â at 2:00pm ET. Participants will learn about the goals of the challenge, how to apply, eligibility, what to submit in Phase 2, and judging criteria. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A.Â
What Is StatVentures?Â
StatVentures is an initiative of Census Open Innovation Labs that scouts technology through collaborations with innovators outside of government to ensure the U.S. Census Bureau continues to provide the highest quality data. Through multi-phase competitions, we invite participants to propose new concepts that could ultimately become the next methods and data sources for the Census Bureau.
What Is the Supply Chain Challenge?
The Supply Chain Challenge seeks ideas to radically innovate the way the Census Bureau provides supply chain data. The problem statement below applies across all phases, as the overarching challenge we are seeking to tackle: To support the nation’s need for critical goods and services, the Census Bureau is working toward improving its ability to measure the supply chain, including manufacturing, imports and exports, transportation and delivery of goods, and other key topics on global supply chains.
Get Involved
Even if you didn’t compete in Phase 1, there’s still time to join the phase 2 cohort by submitting a letter of intent. Over the next month, we are hosting cohort sessions for teams in Phase 2 to learn from Census Bureau experts about the existing supply chain data resources and limitations. To join the next session on September 28, submit a Letter of Intent by September 26 at 11:59PM to [email protected]. We encourage teams to use this template for the letter.
Learn More and Spread the Word!
During Phase 2, teams will develop implementation roadmaps for novel approaches, data sources, or technologies to improve existing or create new supply chain data. Applicants will compete for a total of up to $350,000 across up to 8 prizes, and a spot in our Phase 3 innovator cohort.
Do you know a person, team or company with a technology that could change how things are measured in America? We hope you’ll share this opportunity with them. Hit forward on this email or tell them to get in touch with our team for more information.
