This International Day for Failure, we’re celebrating the missteps, flops, and faceplants that fuel innovation. Because behind every breakthrough is a whole lot of trial and error.

Here are a few of our inspring founders reminding us that failure isn’t a detour but a part of the roadmap. Got a favorite “fail-to-win” moment?

What an inspiring day at the #PioneersForum2025 as we joined innovators and changemakers driving sustainable transformation. A special thank you to Eliott Carruthers and the Solar Impulse Foundation for the invitation and to Dr. Bertrand Piccard for an energizing keynote highlighting the groundbreaking progress toward a zero-emission aircraft. We also had the opportunity to reconnect with some of our entrepreneurs during the “matchmaking session", including Cyrille Janssens from BEEODIVERSITY and Olivier Hault & Corentin Dalimier from Level IT. These conversations perfectly captured the spirit of the Forum which was filled with positive energy, collaboration, and hope for a sustainable future. We're proud to be part of a community of pioneers bringing impactful ideas to life. 🌍

Microsoft's AI for Good Lab recently launched the LINGUA Open Call to support multilingual AI and digital inclusion for Europe’s low-resource languages. The aim of the project is to help communities across Europe bring their languages into the AI ecosystem, ensuring that technological progress reflects the voices and cultures of those often left out. As part of that, nonprofits, researchers, and startups are welcome participate by building open datasets and strengthen linguistic representation in AI. If you're interested, apply here: https://lnkd.in/gBmCZvzb
Today, on European Day of Languages, we’re launching the LINGUA Open Call—an open invitation to accelerate multilingual AI research and data collection, with a focus on advancing digital inclusion for Europe’s low-resource languages. This initiative is part of our broader European Digital Commitments to support digital resilience, economic growth, and representation in AI, and is being launched in coordination with the APERTUS project led by EPFL and ETH Zürich , and in consultation with the Council of Europe. We are inviting proposals from nonprofits, NGOs, universities, research institutions, social enterprises, cultural organizations, and startups that help build high-quality speech and text datasets and advance digital inclusion for Europe’s low-resource languages. Applicants must be committed to producing fully open licensed datasets for text-to-text, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech applications. Selected projects will receive: · Up to $50,000 in funding for data collection activities. Larger scale projects requiring funding above 50,000 will be considered on a case-by-case basis, · Azure compute credits for up to two years, to support data-related computational needs such as processing, validation, and baseline experimentation, · Technical support and opportunities for research collaboration with Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, EPFL & ETH Zurich, · Visibility through the Microsoft AI for Good Lab ecosystem and partner networks. At Microsoft, we believe technology should serve everyone. In the era of AI, that means ensuring it works in every language. Europe is home to more than 200 languages, yet most web content that trains today’s AI is in English, leaving many European languages poorly represented in the models that increasingly shape how we work and communicate. Modern AI models learn from online content, but when a language lacks digital presence, the model struggles to understand it—leading to more errors, less accuracy, and a loss of cultural nuance. To build inclusive AI, we must invest in the voices and data that reflect Europe’s full linguistic and cultural diversity. Submissions are due by November 11, 2025.
