Census Bureau

The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the winners of the second phase of the StatVentures Supply Chain Challenge. This challenge invited participants to propose new ways to provide more timely, granular and robust supply chain data. Winning teams submitted implementation roadmaps explaining how their idea would work to capture new or improved supply chain data on manufacturing, imports and exports, transportation and delivery of goods, and other key components of global supply chains.

Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves highlighted the vital work of Commerce’s Supply Chain Center along with several other key steps the Department is taking to lower costs for American families, strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness, protect U.S. national security, and create good jobs and broad-based economic opportunity by increasing the resilience of supply chains.
