Gather with the boldest thinkers, builders, and backers of our time to turn humanity’s grand challenges into tomorrow’s abundant breakthroughs.

For over 30 years, XPRIZE has turned audacious ideas into real-world breakthroughs, proving that bold philanthropy can reshape the future. As the world’s leading engine for incentive-driven innovation, XPRIZE transforms moonshots into real-world impact.

Alongside world-renowned leaders at the Global Visioneering Summit, you will learn about better futures, identify the barriers standing in the way, and help critique and transform moonshot ideas into the next generation of XPRIZE competitions.

This is your opportunity to help architect a future of equity and abundance for all.

 

Three domains. One future.

Food + Water + Waste

Unlocking frontier science and biotechnology to extend human health, community resilience, and societal wellbeing.

Food + Water + Waste

Advancing circular systems that strengthen food security, protect water resources, and reframe waste as a valuable input.

Food + Water + Waste

Accelerating breakthroughs for a clean, carbon-negative future powered by abundant energy and thriving natural ecosystems.

Why attend?

Be where the future Is decided

Engage directly with XPRIZE’s Brain Trust of scientists, philanthropists, founders, and global thought leaders as prize concepts are debated, refined, and advanced. The experience culminates in live voting, where you help determine which ideas move forward into funded XPRIZE competitions.

Connect with fellow leaders building what’s next

Join a curated community of philanthropists, founders, scientists, entrepreneurs, and global leaders and advance your own mission through meaningful connections and collaboration.

Participate in the engine behind the breakthroughs

The Global Visioneering process identifies the next breakthrough opportunities. The Summit is where those ideas are challenged, championed, and funded. This is where XPRIZE’s breakthrough engine comes to life, and where you help drive it forward.

Think bigger than what seems possible

The Global Visioneering Summit takes on the challenges that are big, complex, and world-changing, the moonshots too important to ignore. Being in the room means helping catalyze the ambition required to shape a better future.
