Celebrating 30 Years of Innovation with XPRIZE
Conscious Capital is honored to join the XPRIZE in celebrating 30 years of transformative innovation and global impact at the Closing Bell Ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange.
This milestone reflects the incredible work of visionary teams who have lived their purpose and made a lasting difference in the world. Led by the vision of Peter Diamandis, XPRIZE has empowered bold thinkers to shape a better future through groundbreaking solutions.

Conscious Capital at the XPRIZE Event during UNGA79:
Purpose-Driven Education.
Conscious Capital is honored to join the Accelerate Learning XPRIZE event during UNGA79, where global leaders and innovators will tackle the educational gaps in Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America.
At Conscious Capital, our mission is to help people find and live their purpose, while empowering purpose-driven solutions that can change the world. We amplify their impact through storytelling and funding, and it all begins with good education.
Being part of this event aligns perfectly with our belief that education must do more than teach skills—it must help the next generation discover their purpose. By supporting purpose-driven education, we unlock human potential and set the stage for meaningful global change.
Stay tuned as we work to ensure that education leads with purpose, empowering future leaders to live their calling and drive positive change.
