Solve at the United Nations
Solve at the United Nations is a live pitch event, where selected innovators pitch their solutions to Solve’s challenges on Refugee Education, Carbon Contributions, and Chronic Diseases to a panel of expert judges and a live audience. Those selected by our judges will become Solver teams. As Solver teams, they will receive support and join Solve community members at Solve at MIT on May 8-10, 2017.
