Ten years ago, we launched Solve on a simple bet: the best solutions to global challenges are out there —and it’s our job to find them, fund them, and help them scale.
Since then, the world has been reshaped. A pandemic exposed brittle systems, climate impacts are a daily reality, trust has eroded, and AI has both expanded what’s possible and raised questions about gaps in equity, power, access, and opportunity. In this new era, it is all the more urgent to close those gaps through innovation that scales, with broad adoption, wide distribution, and durability.
Over the past decade, Solve has become a global engine for that kind of innovation. We have launched over 100 challenges for which selected innovators, Solvers, have gone on to reach over 370 million lives and raise $1.1 billion to scale their impact. Solvers are our best bet in making a better future for all.
To celebrate, we’re doubling down on built-to-scale innovation, with more prizes, more partnership pathways, and more action—all unveiled at a special Solve Challenge Finals: 10 Years of Impact on September 22, 2026.
Solve will convene 300 leaders in New York City, amidst the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week—the brightest innovators, social impact champions, industry leaders, artists, and philanthropists—for a thrilling day of live pitches, prize announcements, and world-changing momentum.
