The Public Service Launchpad is for people on a mission. It is powered by Hub Launchpad and FutureGov. Whether it is changing part of the care system, supporting families towards economic security or enabling public service professionals to use data more effectively, we can help you turn questions that matter into great collaborations, projects or companies. We offer intensive start-up support and seed investment for teams on our Accelerator. We’re also building a community of over 100 Launchpad scholars who are sharing their early stage ideas with each other and developing them together. Success for our community is fundamentally about the positive social impact of our work. We pursue this success in a collaborative and open way. Open to challenge and scrutiny, open about how we operate and open to engaging with all who have a stake with us in achieving our missions.
