Solv[ED] Global Discovery Solveathon Workshop

MIT Solveis an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that advances lasting solutions to address the world's most pressing problems. Solve draws on stakeholder expertise to design four Global Challenges each year to find the most promising Solver teams who will drive transformational change. Solve then deploys its global community of private, public, and nonprofit leaders to form the partnerships these Solver teams need to scale their impact.
