These days, the word “solve” does not always mean as a verb for “solution.” Sometimes it means a mixture of multiple votes with unique experiences.

IFIA’s records throughout all these years show that the federation has always strived to be active and effective in projects and groups related to innovation at the highest international levels, and this time, IFIA has been gathered alongside with more than 120+ the MIT Solve members major scientific and industrial organizations, such as Oxford Sciences Innovation, Microsoft, Nike, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, General Motors, HP, Cisco, BMW Foundation, Uber, Save the Children, etc are all committed to a serious and fruitful partnership with all its members. On MIT’s SOLVE platform, IFIA seeks to manage innovative international solutions to address fundamental human and global problems.

What is IFIA going to do?

As a committed member of this community, IFIA declares and encourages its members and inventors and innovators to engage with these series of aims with the help of our local offices all around the world.

IFIA can build momentum on Global Challenges. Also IFIA can dive into discussions with cross-sector leaders as we set out to find solutions to Solve’s 2020 Global Challenges, including their newly launched Healthy Security & Pandemics Challenge.

IFIA can access cutting-edge innovations and connect directly with Solver teams to share strategic advice and new ideas. In collaborative working groups, you’ll learn about and workshop their innovative solutions.

And finally, IFIA could create impactful partnerships. And by that, we mean that we can expand IFIA’s social and environmental impact by collaborating with Solver teams to scale their work.
