Great! The first applications have been submitted for the VIA Water Innovation Challenge! Only 8 applicants and their projects will be selected to take part in this valuable programme. Key is how to accelerate and upgrade your idea to a pilot proposal stage. In 6 weeks you will follow a virtual track in which you receive individual coaching sessions in order to work on a sound proposal. 

So do you come from one of the VIA Water focus countries? Do you have a brilliant innovative idea? And would you like to be part of this Innovation Challenge? Please send your CV and a short teaser to info@viawater.nl before 19 August! At September 8th we announce who are selected.
