The i.Lab - An AFWERX Spark Node Information

MISSION - Create a place where Airmen intrapreneurs can spend their time to explore, build and grow new initiatives that will have a meaningful impact on the Air Force. PROJECTS - We attack problems that can be designed and iterated at the lowest organizational level but always look for a way to scale across the Air Force or Department of Defense. PARTNERS - We partner with subject matter experts across the Department of Defense, industry and academia which allows us to keep track of the latest emerging tech and academic theory. POSSIBILITIES - We focus heavily on education and training, so our Airmen have the skills to attack any challenge within the military and are better prepared to transition to the civilian world. GOALS 1. Connect diverse, innovative members from industry, academia and government 2. Develop capabilities, options and prototype opportunities for the Air Force 3. Disseminate lessons learned to help other organizations speed and scale 4. Create virtual and physical sandboxes to enable prototyping at the lowest level 5. Embed mechanisms that push ideas to the highest level 6. Foster a culture of innovation at all levels of the Air Force
