The White House is taking pitches from startups, researchers, nonprofits and tech companies on ways to modernize and accelerate environmental reviews and federal permitting.
The Council on Environmental Quality, in collaboration with NASA’s Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation, announced Tuesday that it is accepting proposals through June 2 on its “Permitting Innovators Call for Solutions” program.
CEQ Chair Katherine Scarlett said the program will give “America’s innovators” a direct path to improve the way federal agencies conduct environmental reviews and issue permits.
“The Trump Administration is about results: faster reviews, smarter systems, and a government that works as well as the technology available to it,” she said in a statement. “We are proud to launch the Permitting Innovators program and look forward to seeing what industry delivers.”
