Common Mission Project is a non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, that operates at the intersection of education, innovation, STEM, and national interest. It aims to equip the next generation of public-interest entrepreneurs to develop solutions at the convergence of government, academia, and industry, with a focus on national security, diplomacy, and critical technology sectors. The organization emphasizes a three-pillar approach: providing early-stage, non-dilutive support to student teams; training participants through applied innovation methodologies; and convening senior leaders from military, government, private sector, and academia to accelerate impactful solutions. It positions itself as a catalyst for civic engagement and innovation leadership, drawing inspiration from historical figures in science and engineering to strengthen the nation’s STEM and national security ecosystem. A notable development includes its role as the driving force behind the Hacking for Defense movement and its outreach to international partners, such as a documented collaboration with Australian defense partners.
