The GAIN or Guardians and Airmen Innovation Network program, gives active duty, reserve, National Guard, and contract employees the opportunity to be an innovative intrapreneur and to be a part of creating a smarter, faster Department of the Air Force. Guardians and Airmen can embrace intrapreneurship by applying their knowledge to better the Air and Space Forces in ways only they know how. No idea is too small to make a big change. Local consultants are standing by to help innovators ideate, develop, and refine their ideas. When innovators are ready, consultants will also help develop a convincing pitch to the local decision approval authority, which is typically a commander. We are also looking to scale ideas that improve not just one base or unit, but the entire enterprise. Innovators hold the power to improve our Air Force. Think BIG, and DRIVE INNOVATION!
