Solve Challenge Finals is your front-row seat to the future of innovation for global good, and as a member of the NEID network you’re invited. Held each year during the UN General Assembly and Climate Week, this flagship event unveils MIT Solve’s latest cohort of visionaries—each offering bold, tech-driven solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges. Attendees witness live pitches as innovators compete for over $1.5 million in funding to scale their impact. But the conversations don’t stop at the pitch. Between sessions, we zoom out to ask the big questions: How can AI empower rather than replace? What does climate justice look like in practice? On stage, world leaders, technologists, and disruptors unpack the systems that need reimagining—and the bold ideas reshaping them. Don’t just watch change happen—help drive it! Register before July 15 to take advantage of early-bird pricing, plus $50 off with coupon code NEIDNETWORK.
