Last week, Verizon launched its Powerful Answers Award, an effort to discover ideas that deliver the best new solutions in three core areas of focus: education, healthcare and sustainability. The program is intended to spark innovative thinking and problem solving across industries and to generate ideas, solutions and answers for some of the world’s biggest challenges.
Winners, who will be announced in 2014 CES, will be chosen in each core focus area, with the top prize being $1 million and additional prizes of $850,000, $700,000, $500,000 and $285,000.
