Announcing the 2026 Innovators in Residence Program for Founders Solving Grand Challenges

NEW YORK - Aug. 18, 2026 - PRLog -- The Innovator in Residence (IIR) Program is a one of its kind pay-what-you-want program, where founders looking to solve grand challenges receive 1 year of support through six 1:1 Advising Sessions.

Grand challenges such as the 2030 SDGs are characterized by their high global priority and complex causality: attempts to intervene create irreversible changes as well as unintended second and third order consequences.

We believe the next generation of innovative companies solving grand challenges will be led by strong research centers that consistently deliver breakthrough ideas and monitor ideas' impact.

This is about the future of organizational design and corporate governance, just as much as it is about sustainable development.

We launched our pilot program in 2022. Today, disruptive technologies and rapid pace of global change have pushed forward thinkers to reimagine governance. We are pleased to offer this exciting program and support bold experimentation.
