Welcome to the George Washington Competition & Innovation Lab (GW CIL), a thriving research institution for pioneering ideas in the realms of market innovation and competition!

​At the GW CIL, we're not just observers of the world; we're active shapers of the future.

Housed in the GW Institute of Public Policy, one of the few university-wide centers directed by the GW Provost, the GW Competition & Innovation Lab is exclusively funded by the GW Institute of Public Policy.

Our collaboration with the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) amplifies our commitment. This partnership enables us to dive deep into the complexities of market regulations and their impact on entrepreneurial innovation and competition.

​Imagine a world where every market thrives with fair competition and unbridled innovation. That's the world we envision and work towards every day. To manifest this future, we provide groundbreaking research and proactively address critical regulatory challenges.

Our methodology is not only globally inclusive but also encompasses a holistic perspective. We meticulously scrutinize markets around the world, bringing together diverse perspectives to understand innovation in its most comprehensive form.

Our team comprises internationally acclaimed scholars who not only conduct empirical research but also lead the vanguard in knowledge creation. They collaborate with policymakers and engage with entrepreneurs, fostering a climate conducive to innovation and competitive rivalry.

​We invite you to join us at the GW CIL, where passion aligns with purpose. Here, we are not merely envisioning a more prosperous future; we are in the process of actualizing it. Together, we aim to stimulate economic growth and innovation while ensuring fair competition.
