Buying What Doesn’t Exist Yet: Market Shaping for Global Innovation
How do we bring life-saving innovations into existence when markets alone won't deliver them? Some of the world's most socially valuable innovations never get developed because their benefits to society far exceed the profits innovators can expect to earn. The Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA)—a joint initiative of Dartmouth, the Center for Global Development, and the University of Chicago—is working to change that.

Join Leah Rosenzweig (MSA Director and Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development), Christopher Snyder (MSA Faculty Co-Director and Professor of Economics at Dartmouth), and other MSA researchers to explore how innovative financing mechanisms, including prizes and advance market commitments, can create powerful incentives to develop solutions to global challenges. From rapid diagnostics for newborn infections to technologies that make drinking water safer and new uses for existing off-patent medicines, learn how market shaping can turn unmet needs into opportunities for innovation—and ideas into real-world impact.
