What is Singularity University?
Singularity University is a global learning and innovation community using exponential technologies to tackle the world’s biggest challenges and build a better future for all.
Our collaborative platform empowers individuals and organizations across the globe to learn, connect, and innovate breakthrough solutions using accelerating technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital biology. We offer educational programs, courses, and summits; enterprise strategy, leadership, and innovation programs; programs to support and scale startups and promote social impact; and online news and content. The SU community includes entrepreneurs, corporations, global nonprofits, governments, investors, and academic institutions in more than 127 countries. With over 5,000 impact initiatives, our community is driving positive change in the areas of health, environment, security, education, energy, food, prosperity, water, space, disaster resilience, shelter, and governance.
Learn how technology enables us to solve global challenges
At Singularity University, we believe that leveraging the convergence of exponential technologies will set us on the path to solve our global grand challenges and shift from an era of scarcity to abundance.
In addressing each of the 12 global grand challenges, we aim to ensure that basic needs are met for all people, the quality of life is improved, and that future risks are mitigated.
Each of the global grand challenges are interrelated and interdependent. As we solve for the water challenge, we also address the health challenge. As we make progress against the education challenge, so we also address the prosperity challenge.
