Congratulations to the 11 AquaAction semifinal winners.
It was a true privilege to serve as a judge and witness the remarkable talent, passion, and ingenuity demonstrated by this year's entrepreneurs.
Congratulations to the 11 innovators who have earned their place in the next stage of the competition! Your vision, perseverance, and commitment to developing solutions for the world's water challenges are both inspiring and essential. So happy that four entrepreneurs from the group I was judging are part of the winners!!! I particularly loved their ideas.
Innovation is not only about creating new technologies—it's about having the courage to challenge the status quo, transform ideas into action, and build a more sustainable future for generations to come.
To every entrepreneur who participated, thank you for your dedication. Every solution, every idea, and every lesson learned brings us one step closer to protecting one of our planet's most precious resources: water.
I wish the finalists every success in the next phase of the competition.
The future of water is brighter because of innovators like you.
And thank you once again to AquaAction for creating such an exceptional platform that empowers entrepreneurs and accelerates innovation where it matters most. And a huge thank you to Kenza Vandenbroeck and Anne-Pascale Richardson, PhD for their exceptional work on this project.
Together, we are shaping the future of water.
