FAMAE challenge - precious water

20 December 2018

A grand prize of 2 million euros for innovative ideas dedicated to protecting our precious resource.

Access to clean water, water conservation and water protection are key issues on a global scale. Therefore, the Famae Foundation has launched an international competition with one basic rule: "to create a simple and innovative product or service to preserve water, make it cleaner and accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world". The winners receive an endowment of 2 million euros to allow them to pass from an idea to its practical realization.

The competition is open to everyone, but especially aimed at the education and research domain (students, researchers), entrepreneurs (start-ups, SMEs), associations, NGOs and communities.

Deadline for submitting applications is February 15, 2019.
