Drive Innovation

Solve is an initiative of MIT.  We believe that to achieve a more sustainable and equitable future for all, we need new voices and ideas.  We launch open calls for exceptional and diverse solutions to the most pressing global challenges, from anyone, anywhere in the world.  Selected innovators get the backing of MIT and our community of supporters to scale their impact and drive lasting change. 

Solve is a natural offshoot of MIT’s mission to advance knowledge in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.

Thanks to its supporters, Solve has mobilized over $70 million in funding for Solver teams and innovators.  Together, we are solving the world’s most pressing problems.
