Loudoun Economic Development is Gearing Up for the Loudoun Innovation Challenge

Message from Executive Director Buddy Rizer:

As the second Loudoun Innovation Challenge in-person, live pitch event draws closer, I have a growing sense of excitement about the incredible transformational ideas that this year's applicants have introduced us to, and am grateful for these trailblazing entrepreneurs who continue to push boundaries and challenge the status quo right here in Loudoun County.

I am pleased to announce that on October 30, we will be revealing the top 12 finalists for the Loudoun Innovation Challenge. These finalists represent some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs in Loudoun, bringing exceptional ideas, innovative solutions, and growth to the county’s economy.

I personally invite you to mark your calendars and join us on November 29 for the live pitch event, where our Innovation Challenge finalists will showcase their groundbreaking ideas and compete for their chance to take home a piece of the $150,000 total investment, provided by the Loudoun Economic Development Authority (EDA). This is a can’t miss event that offers you the opportunity to witness innovation and entrepreneurship in Loudoun County and to support local entrepreneurs in their pursuit of the next #LoudounPossible success story.
