MIT Solve

Solve is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that advances lasting solutions from tech entrepreneurs to address the world's most pressing problems. Each year, Solve issues four Global Challenges to find the most promising solver teams who will drive transformational change. It then builds and convenes a community of leaders and changemakers to form partnerships these solver teams need to scale their impact. Solve was born out of MIT in 2016, a natural offshoot of MIT’s commitment to open technological innovation, and its long commitment to actionable thought leadership in the public sphere.
