About MIT Solve:
MIT Solve is an initiative of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) with a mission to
solve world challenges. Solve is a marketplace
for social impact innovation. Through open
innovation Challenges, Solve finds incredible
tech-based social entrepreneurs all around the
world.
Solve then brings together MIT’s innovation
ecosystem and a community of Members to
fund and support these entrepreneurs to help
them drive lasting transformational impact.
Solve was born out of the Office of the
President of MIT in 2015, a natural offshoot of
MIT’s mission to advance knowledge in science,
technology, and other areas of scholarship that
will best serve the nation and the world in the
21st century.
In the last three years, thanks to its partners, IFIA Magazine September 2024

25$ million in funding for Solver teams and
entrepreneurs.
