LAUNCH is a brand that connects the dots between innovation and impact. Established in 2008, it was a collaboration between NASA, USAID, the U. S.

Department of State, and NIKE with the aim of creating a more sustainable and just society through innovation. Over the years, LAUNCH has accelerated 111 innovators who have addressed 13 of the world’s toughest challenges. LAUNCH recognizes that our current industrial systems were designed with a narrow focus on productivity and profit, without much consideration for environmental impact.

However, the brand believes in rethinking and redesigning these systems to ensure a better future. They bring inspiration, knowledge, insights, as well as tools, resources, and information to allow their network of Fortune 500 companies, governments, foundations, academics, and scientists to dream, innovate, and work more efficiently and effectively within the Earth’s limits.
