Researchers working together to solve problems they can’t solve alone.
A new worldwide network of scientists and engineers is demonstrating how philanthropy can leverage a 60-year proven innovation model to solve urgent global problems. Now over 150 organizations on 6 continents, representing more than 1,500,000 researchers.
The world’s largest research network, ready for instant activation.
Network shown at midpoint of first five programs.
Using a 60+ year proven model of innovation.
Wellcome Leap is built on a unique model of innovation practiced at DARPA.
For more than six decades, this model has been an uninterrupted engine of breakthrough innovation. It is not a discovery science model, but neither is it a pure application model.
It sits firmly at the intersection of the two.
This kind of work is hard.
The hard is what makes it great.
