MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge Drives a More Equitable Economy

The MIT News website reported on the MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge (IIC), a global tournament for entrepreneurs harnessing technology to ensure a more equitable future. Since the IIC was launched in 2015, researchers have identified 160 organizations from around the world, awarding a total of $5 million in prizes to accelerate their missions. After accelerating the global future-of-work movement for the past four years, the IIC team began looking for ways to further amplify their impact. Coming full circle, they looked to MIT Solve, an Institute-wide initiative designed to address the world’s most pressing problems through partnership and open innovation. The IIC will transition into Solve in 2020, powering its Economic Prosperity Challenge to drive increased resources and global awareness to the inclusive innovators who are creating an equitable future of work for all.
