XPRIZE FOUNDATION

Incentive prize contests have existed for centuries. Rather than throw money at a problem, it's possible to incentivize the solution, inspiring and challenging the global crowd to solve it. From the inception of the Longitude prize in 1714, through the Orteig prize that compelled Charles Lindbergh to fly across the Atlantic, prizes have ignited passions and brought about breakthroughs that no one thought possible. At XPRIZE we believe that solutions can come from anyone, anywhere. Scientists, engineers, academics, entrepreneurs and other innovators with new ideas from all over the world are invited to form teams and compete to win the prize.
