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.
