Partner with Humanity Games

Back the solutions teams build

Bring a real problem. Teams of people, AI and robots work on it in public, scored on published rules. Host a local heat, commission a challenge track, or support the global season.

  • For cities, companies, universities, NGOs, foundations and technology providers
  • Partners never buy scores. Organisers approve what is published and scored

A 30-minute call to explore fit. Agreements are made with, and invoiced by, Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178).

Partners support the Games, they don't buy scores

  • Teams are scored on published criteria; panels are to be conflict-checked. Outcome claims need evidence, and overclaiming is penalised.
  • Anyone linked to a partner, on a team or a panel, must disclose that link.
  • No scoring vote for partners. Input on tracks and metrics is advisory.

What partners get out of it

  • Own the problem, not the score: a real challenge worked on in public.
  • Meet people who combine AI, robotics and real-world know-how, early.
  • Evidence you can use: results scored on published rules, not a logo wall.

Where we are today: rules and scoring are public as drafts; the first sessions and heats are being scheduled; tracks and dates for the global season are not set.

How it's run

Organised by Humanity Solutions

Humanity Solutions organises Humanity Games and governs its rules. Partners sit alongside, never above, that role.

Governance

Final approval of rules, tracks, scoring and jury criteria, with a veto on safety, ethics and integrity. Partner representatives stay a minority on their own track's panel. Sumnetics does not organise or judge the Games.

Money

Heats, tracks and commissions are agreed in a written proposal with scope and fee. Prize money is set and funded by the challenge owner, separate from the organising fee. Agreements are made with, and invoiced by, Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178). Optional Sumnetics services are never a condition.

Responsibility

Each heat agreement sets out who arranges and insures field work, test sites and permits. Hosts remain responsible for their own sites and staff. IP terms are agreed per heat in writing.

Partners

  • Organiser Humanity Solutions
  • Local heat hosts Open
  • Technology Circle Open
  • Season sponsors Up to 5 seats

How partnership works

Three steps to a partnership

A first call, a written proposal, then an agreement and, if you like, a joint announcement.

  1. First call

    A 30-minute call to explore your problem, your goals and what a heat or track could look like.

  2. Written proposal

    A short written proposal with scope, timing, fee, recognition and the terms that apply. Prices are on request.

  3. Agreement and launch

    Once you sign, we design the track together and announce it jointly if both sides want to.

  4. Prefer to write directly? connectwithus@humanitysolutions.net

Questions

Partner questions

Who organises Humanity Games?

Humanity Solutions organises the Games and governs the rules. Other partners sit alongside, not above, that role.

What does a partnership cost?

A local heat is €45,000 excl. VAT (€54,450 incl. 21% VAT). Other formats are priced on request. Every format is set out in a written proposal after a first call, excl. VAT. Agreements are made with, and invoiced by, Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178).

When does the global season start?

It is our long-term goal. Format and dates are not set; we will share them once sponsors are confirmed. The first sessions and local heats are being scheduled; get in touch and we'll propose dates.

Can we propose our own challenge?

Yes. A local heat is built around your problem, assessed against the published track criteria. Your brand is on the agenda, never on the score.

Can our employees take part?

In a session or your own heat, yes. For the global season, the draft rules set out the options, to be decided before registration opens.

Can individuals help too?

Yes. Experts can mentor or review: choose "Expert or jury partner" in the inquiry form. Individuals can also sign up for upcoming online open sessions. You only pay when a session is confirmed and you can attend.
