\nThis site uses new tools to solve problems. It essentially acts as a broker between organizations that need problems solved and the large external community that may be able to find a solution.<\/em><\/p>\n

The rewards can be pretty substantial if someone can become a successful solver. The site not only has problems in specific areas, but there are pavilions sponsored by single entities for directed solutions. The <\/em>Rockefeller Foundation Accelerating Innovation for Development<\/a><\/em> is one such organization.<\/em><\/p>\n
