Mission-oriented policy begins with a concrete societal challenge and coordinates portfolios of experimentation across sectors rather than prescribing a single technology. Missions should be ambitious, measurable, time-bound, and capable of crowding in diverse solutions. The approach depends on learning institutions, procurement, finance, evaluation, citizen participation, and willingness to stop weak projects.
