XPRIZE Foundation

Organization Description

A nonprofit 501(c)(3) since 1994, the XPRIZE Foundation has designed and operated seventeen competitions in the domain areas of Space, Oceans, Learning, Health, Energy, Environment, Transportation, Safety and Robotics.

Our first XPRIZE, the $10 million Ansari XPRIZE for private spaceflight, spurred an industry and created exponential breakthroughs. Since then we have launched over $140 million in prize purses, including the $15 million Global Learning XPRIZE, the $10 million Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, and the $1.4 million Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup XPRIZE.

Each of these prizes has created an industry-changing technology that brings us closer to a better, safer, more sustainable world. Of particular interest to our field is the recent addition of the XPRIZE for Longevity which is focused on technologies that can take us beyond the current limits of healthy human lifespan.
