JEDI GrandChallenges are competitions shaped to develop technological or scientific breakthroughs - with a radical new method, based on purpose-driven research, maximum speed, full focus on excellence, deep interdisciplinarity and bold 'moonshot' risk-taking. The selected topics are framed to have a gamechanging economic, strategic, and societal impact. 

 

Based on the successful DARPA methodology, bringing in the best teams working on specific hard problems to solve, we remove all bureaucratic barriers to ensure bold, non-linear thinking, while being extremely demanding in terms of achieving measurable breakthroughs, in the shortest possible time.

 

We require participants ("Performers") of our GrandChallenges to develop a prototype, in order to allow afterwards the ecosystem - startups, industry, VCs - to scale the breakthroughs and make them accessible to society—this is our mission. In order to ensure the best of the best participate, Performers retain the main IP of their findings.
