The Stimson Center is an essential voice on transnational policy challenges, tackling global issues facing both policymakers and technology leaders. Like no other time in history, private companies are empowering billions around the world without regard to borders, bringing both positive change and presenting new challenges that conventional approaches to international policy are ill-suited to meet. The Loomis Innovation Council is the premier venue to address these international technology policy challenges, uniting Stimson’s long experience and international perspective with the technology sector’s unique ability to operationalize solutions.

Alfred Lee Loomis, a Wall Street investor turned inventor, was the first cousin of Henry L. Stimson. After making a personal fortune before the stock market crashed in 1929, Loomis funded a private lab that brought together some of the most accomplished scientists of the 1940s. Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, and Enrico Fermi supported an effort that is credited with helping change the course of the Second World War and of humanity. The Loomis Council captures Loomis’ fervor for problemsolving, his maverick ability to operate beyond existing systems, and his commitment to advancing a better vision of tomorrow.
Council Membership
Individual members of the Council have access to an impressive network of tech and policy experts as well as the opportunity to apply their specialized expertise to real-world policy challenges and participate in valuable conversations about the tech/policy nexus. Members participate in meetings throughout the year where Stimson experts present policy problems with potential for tech interventions, as well as engage in virtual brainstorming sessions on specific policy problems and topics, facilitating introductions to others in their fields who may have insights into the issues Stimson’s programs are tackling.
