A Message from Progressive Insurance

This is a story about two organizations that support innovation in a way that can make a real difference in people’s lives. We are thrilled to be a part of the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE as the Title Sponsor and believe this effort moves us further, faster toward developing more fuel-efficient car choices for everyone.

Progressive is a 70-year old company with a rich history of making things better in car insurance. To join with the X PRIZE Foundation, another organization that shares our passion for innovation, was an easy choice. We’re providing financial support to a competition that’s all about solutions and that will make a difference in everyone’s lives by producing more high fuel mileage vehicle options for drivers.

"The Ansari Family sponsored the first X PRIZE and helped to create the entire new industry of private spaceflight. In the same spirit of calculated and strategic investment, I hope Progressive's Title Sponsorship of the Automotive X PRIZE will begin to redefine an established industry, for all our benefit."
