Solve is a community that identifies and supports lasting solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges in learning, health, sustainability, and economic prosperity.
Every year, Solve issues actionable challenges with the potential to affect millions of lives, and anyone in the world can submit their solutions through an open innovation platform. Solve judges — MIT faculty, industry experts, and civil society leaders — identify finalists from these submissions to become ‘Solvers,’ and Solve connects these “Solvers” with its community of leaders and change-makers, who have the resources, expertise, and know-how to get each solution piloted, scaled, and implemented
