About the event
Join the XPRIZE Canada Hub for an interactive session exploring how global innovation prizes are designed and how problem-first thinking can sharpen your own approach to the world's hardest challenges.We'll start with how XPRIZE turns ambitious ideas into validated, real-world solutions to some of the toughest problems we face - from climate to the rapid advance of AI - and what the Canada Hub is building to scale that work locally. From there, we'll turn to where AI is heading and the technical problems ready for a breakthrough.You'll then work through a real-world challenge together in small groups, and hear about the approaches that have helped XPRIZE alumni succeed in the past.This session is for anyone curious about applying this kind of thinking to real problems, from AI developers, data scientists, engineers, founders, and anyone else interested in innovation.We'll wrap with space to connect with fellow attendees and the XPRIZE Canada Hub team!
