Open Innovation Prize Challenges 

Creativity is critical to solving complex problems, developing new strategies, facilitating innovation, and driving organizational change.

"[PSCR] ... allowed us to get to know a different community of interest, see what the needs are, and see that the technology we’re working on is applicable to a completely different industry.”

- PSCR Prize Challenge Participant (2017)
