Solve Challenge Finals in New York City is the premier social impact pitch event during UN General Assembly week. The event brings together the Solve community with a diverse group of innovators with solutions to Solve's 2019 Global Challenges: Circular Economy, Community-Driven Innovation, Early Childhood Development, & Healthy Cities.
During the event, these entrepreneurs will pitch their solutions to a panel of expert judges & a live audience. Those selected will form the next Solver class, joining the Solve community to build partnerships with cross-sector leaders-including Solve Members such as Starbucks, HP, Johnson & Johnson, & Save the Children-that help pilot, scale, & implement their tech-based solutions & take action on complex Global Challenges.
This year, there is over $1.6 million in potential funding available for the selected Solver teams, & recipients of the following Challenge prizes, among others, will be announced:
The AI Innovations Prize supported by the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation & Schmidt Futures
The GM Prize on Community-Driven Innovation & the GM Prize on Circular Economy
Innovation for Women Prize supported by the Vodafone Americas Foundation
The Morgridge Family Foundation Community-Driven Innovation Prize
