Odyssey connects governments, corporates, and non-profits with innovative entrepreneurs from around the world to let them jointly tackle complex 21st-century challenges. Together, we create an interconnected, multi-stakeholder ecosystem to build a future.

Each season of Odyssey is a 10-month journey starting from problem identification to building the solutions and implementing pilots.

Throughout this journey, we bring together the stakeholders with whom we articulate the challenges, exchange knowledge, and prepare for Odyssey Momentum—the 48 hours of mass online collaboration. During  Momentum, selected teams from all over the world co-create new solutions in collaboration with the challenge leads, stakeholders, experts, regulators, and even other teams. 

Since 2016, more than 230 prototypes have emerged from the program, addressing the challenges of over 40 partners. The goal of each partner is to elevate the best teams and solutions to multi-stakeholder pilots after Momentum.

Odyssey is now in season 4, with Momentum coming up on November 13-15, 2020. 

The challenges of the 21st century won’t be solved by single entities but by collaborative ecosystems. Odyssey brings together a unique international ecosystem of key stakeholders, from startups to big corporates, from creatives to regulators, from developers to legal experts, and many others, each holding a part of the solution in their hands.
