Every entrepreneur today faces the challenge of solving problems to make life better for future generations.
How do we innovate to prevent the next pandemic? Get vaccines out to millions? Protect an earth that is on fire? How do we design healthcare systems that truly care for all? Create AI that is anti-racist? Ask better questions, listen more closely, and build stronger connections?
Our hope is right here in our community. As we explore these questions and ideas with innovators everywhere, we share how Harvard students and alumni are building more human futures every day.
THE FUTURES WE MAKE
On May 5, viewers from all over the world gathered online to celebrate more human futures and find out who won a share of $510,000 in Bertarelli Foundation Awards at the 2021 President’s Innovation Challenge Awards Ceremony. Get to know the finalists, discover the winners, and watch the whole show!
