PROVIDING POWERFUL ANSWERS TO BIG CHALLENGES
We believe that these and other converged services provide a path
to sustainable growth and competitive advantage for Verizon—
opening new markets and taking us where others can’t go.
Even more broadly, we’re committed to using these innovative
solutions to provide powerful answers to the most challenging
issues facing our planet such as education, energy and
healthcare—and to doing everything we can to mobilize the tech
industry to help.
For example, we’re stimulating innovation by growing the
ecosystem of applications and devices that ride on our networks.
We have two Innovation Centers—one in San Francisco and one
in Waltham, Mass.—where we work with entrepreneurs, app
developers and device manufacturers to interface with our 4G LTE
network and bring next-generation connected solutions to market.
We also sponsor the Verizon Powerful Answers Award, a
competition that gives $10 million in prizes for apps and devices
that leverage our assets in the areas of healthcare, education
and energy.
We announced the award winners at the 2014 Consumer
Electronics Show, where it was apparent that we had tapped
into a rich vein of creativity. We received more than a thousand
ideas for using technology to make the world a better place:
education products tailored to the special needs of kids with
autism, mobility impairments and hearing loss; apps that diagnose
vision problems with a smartphone and help people with chronic
conditions manage their medication; crowd-sourcing and social
networking solutions to mobilize communities and fund clean
energy projects. We look forward to working with the winners as
they bring their products to market.
We have also focused the Verizon Foundation on becoming an
incubator for innovative technology solutions that improve
outcomes in healthcare, education and energy management,

at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show.
