Message from Executive Director Buddy Rizer:
At Loudoun Economic Development, we believe innovation is key to unlocking new opportunities and pushing boundaries. Innovation is what drives us and as we are part of a community of forward-thinkers, dreamers, and doers, we aim to encourage entrepreneurs to challenge their creative thinking and take their ideas to the next level.
This year marks the fourth year of the Loudoun Innovation Challenge, a contest where we celebrate the power of innovation and provide a stage for visionaries to shine. The Loudoun Innovation Challenge is a platform for innovative minds to showcase their products and services or help them turn their concepts into reality.
Through the Loudoun Innovation Challenge, we, along with the Loudoun Economic Development Authority (EDA) who are investing a total of $150,000 into Loudoun entrepreneurism, are fueling passion, igniting imagination, and helping small business owners make their mark on the innovation landscape. Previous years have proven that Loudoun entrepreneurs have a knack for thinking outside the box and we are excited to see what 2023 brings.
Whether it’s a groundbreaking idea, a cutting-edge product, or a game-changing solution, this is Loudoun’s chance to make a splash in the world of #LoudounPossible innovation.
