CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The acceleration of technology growth has led to major benefits for business, economy, and society. However, the challenge of inclusive innovation remains, as all workers do not currently have access to the same economic opportunities. To address this issue, MIT's Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE), in collaboration with the MIT Innovation Initiative (MITii), recently launched the MIT Inclusive Innovation Competition (IIC). The competition is being funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and Joyce Foundation, and aims to focus entrepreneurial and innovative energy on improving economic prospects for all workers. The announcement came during the launch of Solve (solve.mit.edu), MIT's new cross-disciplinary program to address the world's most pressing challenges.
