Launched by former California public officials, the California Center for Government Innovation (CCGI) fosters partnership between government and the innovation community. Our mission is to create a collaborative ecosystem where innovative solutions are developed and implemented to enhance public services and improve the quality of life for all Californians.

• People first: We are dedicated to outcomes that serve all Californians in a technology-neutral and vendor-agnostic approach. This includes increasing government efficiency using artificial intelligence, which should be thoroughly based on human values and oversight.
• Inclusivity: We are dedicated to inclusivity, ensuring diverse perspectives are sought, and respected in pursuing solutions that serve all communities.  Such inclusivity includes recognizing and fighting against bias, from policy decision-making to systemic social discrimination, to reach disadvantaged communities throughout the Golden State.
• Collaboration: We believe in the power of working together, uniting the strengths of both the public and private sectors to discover and implement effective solutions.
• Transparency: We are committed to maintaining openness in all our interactions and operations, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed and engaged in our processes.
• Innovation: The drive to innovate is at the heart of our work. We encourage creative thinking, the exploration of new technologies, and data-driven discoveries to address the government’s unique challenges.
• Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and accountability in all our activities, ensuring our efforts benefit the public good without compromise.
• Excellence: We strive for excellence in all our endeavors, from the solutions we seek to the partnerships we nurture, aiming to set new standards in government service delivery.
