Convening our community

Each year we host two flagship events that serve as the kick off and capstone moments of our annual Global Challenge cycle. 

From New York City in the fall, amidst the energy of Climate Week and the UN General Assembly, to Cambridge in the spring, hosted on MIT’s prestigious campus—Solve Challenge Finals and Solve at MIT convene our community, introduce the newest and boldest tech-based solutions, connect innovators with funding to scale, invoke meaningful discussion, and celebrate progress.

With every passing year, we’re bringing more voices and ideas to the problem-solving table.

“ I haven’t been to an event like this in years (decades) where I have felt more welcomed and inspired by both your team, your advocates, and by the Solvers themselves. I’ve always believed that nurturing a community of members with the same shared values is the key to overcoming any adversity. It was immediately apparent that this community is going to substantially impact the pressing global challenges that we face today.”
