BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY
Founded in 2002, Qualtrics is the Experience Management (XM) technology used by 13,500+ of the world’s most iconic brands to help them design and improve breakthrough customer, brand, product, and employee experiences.
BREAKTHROUGH RESEARCH
In 2016, we set up a non-profit, 5 For The Fight, to launch a global campaign to eradicate cancer. Since then we have funded 26 researchers at 15 research centers and have hired 20 5 For The Fight cancer research fellows. In addition, 5 For The Fight is featured on the Utah Jazz jersey patch. It is the only cause-related jersey patch in the NBA and was the first of its kind in North American professional sports.
