The foundation addresses the world's Grand Challenges by creating and managing large-scale, high-profile, incentivized prize competitions that stimulate investment in research and development worth far more than the prize itself. It motivates and inspires brilliant innovators from all disciplines to leverage their intellectual and financial capital. ---------------------------------------- VIDEO CREDITS Producer: Damien Somerset -- http://DamienSomerset.com Production Coordinator: Angela Maung Cinematographer: Editor: Marc Jozefowicz
