The way innovation is funded matters.

Whether through research grants, prizes, advance market commitments, or other mechanisms, funding choices can influence what gets invented, how fast breakthroughs happen, and who benefits from them.

The Atlas of Innovation, a new project from the Institute for Progress (IFP) and the Market Shaping Accelerator, helps philanthropies, policymakers, and other funders navigate the wide range of tools available to support scientific and technological progress.
