When it comes to delivering mission impact, seeing truly is believing. In November 2022, Booz Allen opened the doors to The Helix, Booz Allen's Center for Innovation. The Helix is a platform for showcasing our world-class innovation and building community and affiliation among clients, partners, and employees. We bridge the physical distance between Washington, DC; Silicon Valley; and everywhere in between with an immersive and compelling showcase of our people, trusted expertise, and disruptive capabilities, demonstrating how we bring our collective ingenuity to help clients solve their emerging challenges of today and position them at the forefront of tomorrow.
The Helix pulls back the curtain on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, 5G, and digital twins, making them accessible and immediately applicable to critical U.S. federal government missions.
The Helix prominently features Booz Allen's ESG strategy in both small and large ways. Its storytelling rotunda describes our three ESG pillars through stories on climate, our COVID response, and our DEI efforts. We help empower diverse talent by showcasing the thought leadership and technical strength of diverse team members within our demonstrations and stories. We make innovation accessible to all by featuring content that ranges from beginner to advanced levels and hosting guests from a variety of organizations. Finally, we help drive community resilience by featuring content ranging from how AI can support climate disaster preparedness to how data visualizations can illuminate the health of a community.
The Helix offers bespoke tours that draw from over 250 unique stories, events that can accommodate both in-person and hybrid audiences, and private meetings for deeper conversations around the technology featured.
Since opening, The Helix has hosted over 180 tours, meetings, and events for over 1,900 guests that include clients, corporate partners, community organizations, the startup community, and Booz Allen talent. From middle school students exploring careers in STEM to senior defense leaders seeking to understand the role of digital twins in base security, The Helix has helped make the invisible visible and introduced guests to the power of emerging technology in solving mission-critical challenges.
