To overcome stagnation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is seeking new technologies to condoms, but they did not mention in detail what kind of technology is sought. The Foundation was willing to give an initial investment of 100,000 U.S. dollars, up to 1 million dollars for continued investment.

Foundations founder of Microsoft, said the project is purely for world health. Condoms are the next generation that sought by the foundation, is the condom still help reduce the number of pregnancies, and avert the spread of diseases, including HIV / AIDS.
