Open-source software exists for common good and, due to the high license fees for commercial optimization solvers, open-source alternatives are critically important for small scale commercial enterprises, NGOs, and organisations in developing countries.

HiGHS is already the world's best performing open-source linear optimization software, and we are dedicated to improve its performance further. We are also looking to extend HiGHS by adding a "direct" interior point solver for linear, quadratic and conic programming, with the ultimate vision being to develop a nonlinear programming solver.

Financial support will come from various sources, and here is your opportunity to be a GitHub sponsor of HiGHS

We greatly appreciate your help!
