Our Results
Though our primary goal is people – building a robust and deep thinking community of innovators – the projects that our teams have launched during their 90 day experiential learning make an impact. Curiosity and tenacity drives our teams as they seek, test, and pitch new solutions.
Beyond Project Mercury, the next project awaits.
Our innovators will be ready.
Examples of Project Mercury projects:
