Spark the Breakthroughs
XPRIZE exists to solve the world’s biggest challenges—and we can’t do it without you.
If a problem is too complex, too costly, or too risky for others to tackle, we build a prize to address it—with rigor, speed, and global reach.
But breakthrough innovation doesn’t happen alone. It takes a movement of funders, partners, and problem-solvers ready to empower bold ideas and scale what works.
Fund a prize. Join a team. Amplify the mission. Your contribution matters because the breakthroughs we build don’t just win prizes; they shift what's possible for humanity.
The future isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we build.
Let’s build it together.
