ABOUT ASPIRE

ASPIRE engages with like-minded stakeholders to run these challenges across academia and industry to find solutions to real-world problems such as global hunger (XPRIZE Feed The Next Billion), maritime safety (Grand Maritime Challenge of the Mohamad Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge), or safe mobility for the future (A2RL).
