In February 2016, Eric Schmidt announced in a Medium post[1] the expansion of Google Ideas to a technology incubator named Jigsaw. According to Schmidt, the new name "reflects our belief that collaborative problem-solving yields the best solutions" and the team's mission "is to use technology to tackle the toughest geopolitical challenges, from countering violent extremism to thwarting online censorship to mitigating the threats associated with digital attacks."[1] Jigsaw will also leverage more of Alphabet's engineering talent and resources to build more sophisticated products.[11]
