We live in perhaps the greatest age of technological innovation in human history. Yet many people are not experiencing the benefits of this progress, despite actively seeking to more fully participate in and benefit from new educational, financial, and work opportunities.
While jobs that were once pathways to guaranteed prosperity have dramatically changed or disappeared, we believe that Inclusive Innovators, wielding technology as a tool, are creating solutions to this challenge today. By reinventing the future of work, Inclusive Innovators are empowering people to improve their income and participate more fully in our rapidly evolving digital economy.

In each year of the Challenge, we discover the groundbreaking solutions that are reinventing the future of work to create greater shared prosperity today.



Many organizations and individuals are increasingly focused on Inclusive Innovation, shared prosperity, and the future of work as paramount topics to address in today’s digital economy. We are fortunate to have the support of leading changemakers in this space. Our partners’ engagement as judges, applicant recruiting networks, media collaborators, and financial sponsors makes the IIC possible.
