Dutch Aqua Accelerator
There is a potential market of over 2 billion low income people that have no access to clean water. Access to sanitation needs new innovative approaches to serve the masses. Farmers in developing countries need innovative water-efficient technologies. Investors lack a pipeline of proven concepts available for impact investment.
To solve these problems Africa Funded and Aqua for All have set up the Dutch Aqua Accelerator. The Aqua Accelerator is a unique program supporting companies with knowledge, expertise, networking and co-funding facilities. They assist with the adaptation of your business models for piloting and in developing a viable market proposition and obtaining necessary proof to get investors on board.
