About Us
The Mayor’s Office of Innovation uses new approaches to drive progress and deliver outcomes for the Mayor’s top priorities. We use data & technology tools and human-centered design to source and test new ideas, iterate quickly, and scale what works. We believe that government can move fast and deliver better results when it is willing to take smart risks.
We also collaborate with private sector and nonprofit partners to bring in new ideas, tools, and capacity to the City. Our ongoing partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies makes our ambitious vision possible.
