Spark leverages the ingenuity of Air Force intrapreneurs at the base level and non-traditional partners to create unique opportunities for the military’s operational experts to collaborate with the top problem solvers in industry, academia, and the government.

- Further a culture of innovation within the Air Force
- Provide Airmen with the pathways and resources to solve tactical-level pain-points
- Create a robust network of experts from industry, academia, and the government
