Welcome to the Atlas of Innovation!

Ambitious innovation goals require funding approaches that match the mission. From advance market commitments to research grants, different funding approaches can radically reshape what gets invented, how quickly, and at what cost. Philanthropies and policymakers don’t just choose what to fund, but how to fund it.

Building on decades of academic research, the Atlas provides innovation funders with a toolkit of funding mechanisms suited to frontier R&D.
