To accomplish XPRIZE’s mission to create a world of equitable abundance, we need collaboration and participation from the entire world. After 30 years of successful impact, and engaging 174 countries, we are, for the first time, establishing physical hubs in strategic locations across the globe to further strengthen our presence, encourage participation from local communities, and build partnerships toward our shared mission.
XPRIZE Canada
We're proud to call the University of Calgary home to the XPRIZE Canada Hub. UCalgary’s commitment to research that solves real-world problems makes it the perfect place to strengthen Canada’s involvement with XPRIZE as a global leader in innovation. Join us as we inspire change across Canada and the world. Connect with the XPRIZE Canada Hub today at ucalgary.ca/xprize-hub.
Founding Partners
What are XPRIZE Hubs?
Each regional XPRIZE hub acts as a national and regional focal point for XPRIZE to create awareness about our mission and specific competitions, to attract innovators to participate in these competitions, and to attract and activate a local ecosystem of partners. These partners in turn support local and regional teams on their journey toward building solutions and scaling toward global impact.
In line with our strong belief in the power of engaging stakeholders across all segments of society, the hubs will serve as powerful catalysts, bringing together thought leaders, scientists, innovators, and representatives of universities and research institutions, government and other civic entities, the private sector, and NGOs. These stakeholders will participate in and help shape and support our 2040 vision, roadmaps, and competitions.
How they operate
The hubs are funded and made possible by the generous support of visionary founding members in each country, who help us establish a physical presence via supporting dedicated teams whose mission is to build and engage the communities in each country and region with Global XPRIZE programs. Each XPRIZE National or Regional hub has a dedicated board of directors who support, and seamlessly collaborate with our global HQ organization in the USA
Our XPRIZE hubs and their team members actively work together with each other across the globe to share learnings, best practices, and create a more robust global XPRIZE ecosystem of opportunity, partnership, and innovation for all our global stakeholders and the World.
