What does it take to solve humanity’s most significant problems at scale, and why do bold incentives work where traditional models fall short?

This exclusive YPO session offers behind-the-scenes access to XPRIZE, the world’s leading Grand Challenge platform for breakthrough innovation. Designed for global business leaders, the conversation will explore how XPRIZE uses ambitious, incentive-driven competitions to mobilize talent, capital, and creativity worldwide.

YPOers will hear directly from XPRIZE leaders on how Grand Challenges are conceived and designed, how winning teams are selected, and how moonshot ideas translate into real-world impact. Beyond the competitions themselves, the session will unpack the ripple effects XPRIZE initiatives create across markets, ecosystems, and global collaboration.

This is both a deep dive into one of the most effective innovation engines in the world and a source of inspiration for leaders looking to apply similar principles of ambition, collaboration, and incentive-driven innovation within their own organizations, industries, and communities.

By attending this event, you will:

- Gain an insider’s perspective on how Grand Challenges drive breakthrough innovation,
- Learn how incentives unlock global collaboration and accelerate the development of solutions.
- Discover how to apply moonshot thinking and challenge-based innovation in your own leadership.

This is where innovation favors the brave and bold.
