Presenting Sponsor

Thomas Edison founded General Electric over 130 years ago, and his relentless spirit of innovation and imagination continues to thrive at GE to this day — building, powering, moving and curing the world.

Edison's legacy has particular significance for the 99U, which takes its moniker from the inventor's famous quotation: "Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration." We're thrilled to have GE supporting new insights on creative executions of consequence this year as our official sponsor.
