White House CEQ Announces Technology Solutions Selected to Showcase at Permitting Innovators Expo

Industry partners to showcase permitting technologies at the Permitting Innovators Expo.

Today, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) announced the innovators invited to showcase their technology solutions at the inaugural Permitting Innovators Expo on July 31 in the Washington, D.C. area.

Following President Trump's directive to update permitting technology for the 21st century, CEQ invited industry partners to submit technology solutions that could accelerate and modernize federal environmental reviews and permitting. A panel of professionals with relevant experience reviewed the pool of submissions using CEQ's evaluation criteria, considering whether the solutions have the potential to address key technology gaps outlined in the Permitting Technology Action Plan. CEQ reviewed the evaluations prior to making final selections.

The selected technology solutions represent a range of approaches to improving federal permitting, including tools that support document analysis, workflow management, data access and integration, and routine task automation.

The innovators will demonstrate their technology solutions at the Permitting Innovators Expo on July 31 to federal agencies and industry leaders working to modernize environmental review and permitting. Anyone interested in attending the Permitting Innovators Expo may submit an interest form.

CEQ will also highlight technology solutions in the Permitting Innovators Solutions Catalog, which will be shared with federal agencies in late 2026.
