The Aurora Prize
The Aurora Prize
How it works:
Aurora has committed to raise $50 million USD over the next five years. The funds raised allow Aurora to award both in-kind support and financial contributions through various prizes.
The goal of the Aurora Prize is to incentivise new thinking and reward the best solutions, wherever they come from or how they work. Prizes can bring together innovators and help them thrive by raising their profiles, bringing them into contact with expertise and investment.
Prize winners work with Aurora over a 12-month period and will have their projects widely publicised.
