The power of the crowd can tackle any problem or opportunity

We believe in the innate ability of humans, supported by the right technology, to solve any problem. It's our mission to change the world, one idea at a time. We would love for you to join us!

“Harnessing crowd creativity is a powerful tool to address the complex challenges we face today. Migrating our Climate CoLab community into Wazoku’s global crowd of problem solvers can accelerate the development of solutions that will make for a greener, more sustainable future”

Thomas W. Malone
founding director of the CCI who serves as the Patrick J. McGovern (1959) Professor of Management

Transforming the world of work

We’re the world’s first open talent crowd to receive the prestigious accreditation from the Center for Transformation of Work (CTW). That means that the CTW believes we are leading the charge for their strategic aims to transform the world of work for 1 billion people by 2025.

“Our global clients are increasingly interested in the issue of climate change. We’re excited to bring Climate CoLab’s members into our growing Challenge Community. This migration will give our customers and community access to Climate CoLab’s dedicated and skilled members, who have a proven track record of developing creative and actionable solutions. Between us, we have built two incredible superminds—large online communities that have achieved amazing things to help our world. I’m looking forward to what we can do together.”

Here’s how it works

  • Visit our Challenge Center to view all of our open Challenges.
  • Log In or Register to see the full details of the challenge. Here, you’ll need to agree to the Terms of Use and Challenge Agreement (previously Challenge Specific Agreement or CSA).
  • Develop a solution that meets the challenge requirements.
  • Submit your solution before the challenge deadline.
  • Your solution will be evaluated once the deadline has passed. You will then be notified via email as to whether your solution has been successful. In some challenges, you will also receive feedback on your submission.

Global Challenges for a Global Crowd

The Wazoku Crowd Challenge Center is home to many organizations and governments’ biggest problems and opportunities. In Prize Challenges, Scouting Challenges, and Nexus Challenges, you can make a real difference by submitting solutions and proposals to change the world, one idea at a time.

In Prize Challenges, you can win financial awards. In Scouting Challenges, you could partner with the Seeker organization in ongoing collaborations. In Nexus Challenges, submit your solutions, your pitch offering, or your expertise for a chance to partner with global companies, governments, and NGOs. Or, participate in a Nexus Challenge as a WIN Scout and propose organizations of relevance for a potential referral fee, subject to conditions.

No matter how you solve, solve with us

Individuals can submit solutions, partnership proposals, or participate as a WIN Scout and propose others’ information. Teams can partner up to join forces on their submissions – whether of ideas, IP, or as a collaboration opportunity. Companies of whatever size, from start-ups and SMEs to global organizations, can participate in our Challenges depending on the Challenge statement.

For every Solver, worldwide, Wazoku Crowd has the Challenges, topic areas, and support for you to succeed.
