Innovation

We are dedicated to finding and developing new ideas that can transform the world. Our research and development programs are designed to encourage collaboration and create the conditions for breakthroughs that can make our world a better place. We know that the answers to global problems lie in collaboration, hard work, and dedication. Our mission is to be an accelerator of progress. We invite you to become part of this journey. Together, we can create a better tomorrow for all.

At the Discovery Foundation, you’re surrounded by innovation. Join the world’s thinkers and future leaders in science, technology, humanities, and social sciences and take part in groundbreaking conversations pushing the boundaries of our understanding about the world.
Our Foundation is teaming up with partners around the world to take on some tough challenges: climate change, migration, as well as poor health and education in both developed and developing countries. We focus on issues that we believe are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives.

For each issue we work on, we develop innovative ideas that could help remove these barriers: new techniques to monitor environmental parameters and help people stay healthy and productive; novel tools to prevent and treat deadly diseases or produce more sustainable products; innovative ecosystems for knowledge creation; better methods to help students and teachers in the classroom.

We believe by doing these things—focusing on a few big goals and working with our partners on innovative solutions—we can help every person get the chance to live a healthy, productive life.
