What is Semafor Innovation Atlas (SIA)?

Semafor Innovation Atlas (SIA) is highlighting experiments with measurable results that use AI, robotics, and other advanced technology in addressing society’s most intractable challenges.

We're looking for pilot programs and initiatives from local governments, schools, and universities, nonprofits and companies that are showing real results and the potential to scale.

Why submit?

Selected projects will be showcased at Semafor’s convening of Silicon Valley & The World in November 2026, which brings together decision makers and leaders building revolutionary technologies and those shaping national strategies. The Silicon Valley & The World advisory board is co-chaired by Jensen Huang, Divesh Makan, Satya Nadella, Ruth Porat, and Lisa Su, alongside ministers, CEOs, and investors from across the globe.
