10: Stalking BHAGS

When Nokia Bell Labs launched their own Prize competition in 2014, its goal was simple but audacious: they were seeking proposals that ‘change the game’ in the field of information and communications technologies by a factor of 10. For the Bell Labs Prize’s 2017 winners, that sounds almost too conservative. Listen in as Bell Labs President and Nokia CTO Marcus Weldon decodes the philosophy behind the competition, and hear first-hand from the 2017 winners: Kaushik Sengupta; Jason Azoulay and Tina Ng; and Colm O’Dwyer. In addition to cash awards, each winner has the opportunity to collaborate with Bell Labs researchers to bring their vision to fruition, with amazing implications for the future of health care, wearables and much more.
