Investment thesis
MDIA works to transform how municipalities pilot, procure, and scale emerging technology by bridging gaps between private innovators and the public sector. Its signature Public Innovation Challenge identifies, invests in, and supports early-to-growth stage companies, enabling them to pilot, test, and validate their technology in collaboration with local government and economic partners. Challenges target specific civic problems—such as optimizing water and sewer operations for Miami-Dade County—by accelerating deployment of technologies that reduce system disruptions and costs and repurpose resources from waste streams, ultimately addressing pressing issues that affect resident quality of life in cities.
