After months of research, planning, and preparation, I am delighted to announce the launch of Solve’s
2020 Global Challenges:
| Sustainable Food Systems:
How can we produce and consume low-carbon, resilient, and nutritious food?
| Learning for Girls & Women:
How can marginalized girls and young women access quality learning opportunities to succeed?
| Maternal & Newborn Health:
How can every pregnant woman, new mother, and newborn access the care they need to survive and thrive?
| Good Jobs & Inclusive Entrepreneurship:
How can marginalized populations access and create good jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for themselves?

Solve now seeks tech-based solutions to these four Global Challenges. Anyone, anywhere can
apply by the June 18 deadline. Selected
Solver teams will join a supportive community of peers, funders, and experts to help scale their impact. Thanks to our partners,
Gulbenkian Foundation, General Motors, Vodafone Americas Foundation, Andan Foundation, and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Court, over $1 million in prize funding
is available across the Challenges.
There are four ways to get involved:
-
