In an announcement on November 30, XPrize Foundation Chairman Peter Diamandis stated that the winning idea can come from anyone, anywhere in the world.
The XPrize Foundation is an institution that creates incentives for technological and health innovation.
"We are giving away $101 million to a team that can reverse the human age.
This treatment is designed to address our aging population between 65 and 80 years old," said Diamandis.
Qualifications for participating in the XPrize award
XPrize specified that interested participants must develop a treatment and deliver it within one year or less.
In addition, the foundation stated that the treatment must be able to rejuvenate the functions of the immune system and muscles by at least 10 years.
Also, Diamandis noted that interested people can compete as a group, as individuals, amateurs, startups or students.
The judges will evaluate the muscle function, immunity and cognition of the participants before and after the treatment.
"A winning idea can come from anyone, anywhere.
You can compete as a team, individual, amateur, startup or student.
Any problem solver is welcome. "
"The competition is seven years, meaning it reaches its peak in 2030.
We hope to have a proven way to treat aging by then."
At the same time, he noted that the treatment was not only for the rich but for real people.
"To be clear, we are looking for real solutions for real people, not the rich and famous.
We want to democratize this technology at scale”
