Virtual Solve Challenge Finals is the premier social impact pitch event. During this event, finalists in our 2020 Global Challenges presented their solutions to 400+ leaders from the global Solve community.
The most promising 35 finalists were selected to form the 2020 Solver Class, accessing more than 2 million in prize funding and joining the Solve community to build partnerships with cross-sector organizations—including Members such as Nike, Capital One, and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"During the event, we met new partners to collaborate with, from Education Ministers wishing to deploy AI technology in their schools, to investors and contacts in harder to reach communities."
—Priya Lakhani, Founder and CEO of Solver Century Tech
