Bio-based foods show promise for revolutionizing food systems across the globe. In labs, pilots have been successful, but bringing them to market at an industrial scale is where the challenge lies. Lauren will join industry leaders to explore what’s required to take bio-based foods from concept to grocery aisles and beyond, and what infrastructure is needed to secure a sustainable position in the food industry.
We’re thrilled to share the release of our 2025 XPRIZE Impact Report. 🚀 For over 30 years, XPRIZE has been turning bold ideas into scalable solutions. Our competitions prove philanthropy can deliver 60x ROI in global impact. At XPRIZE, we don’t just imagine the future, we build it. Here’s how the lasting impact of competition-driven innovation looks: 🌎 #XPRIZECarbonRemoval helped catalyze the development of a new carbon removal industry. Teams who competed in this groundbreaking competition have gone on to make great strides in tackling the climate crisis. Alumni like Heirloom Carbon secured a contract with United Airlines to remove 500,000 tons of CO2, while Octavia Carbon launched Africa’s first DAC facility. 🌱 #XPRIZERainforest helped enhance our understanding of rainforest biodiversity. This competition pioneered AI-powered biodiversity monitoring, now driving global conservation and ecosystem restoration efforts. Alumni teams are collaborating with NGOs and governments to enable the use of their technologies by conservationists worldwide. 💧The Water Abundance XPRIZE drove innovations in technology to harvest atmospheric water. Alumni solutions are being piloted where groundwater is unreliable or contaminated, unlocking new approaches to water security for billions of people. We’re not just creating groundbreaking competitions; we’re providing a launchpad for entrepreneurs, ecosystems, and entire industries to join together and tackle the world’s biggest problems.
