BlueArk Challenge: call for projects for intelligent water management
Submit your project before November 6, 2020
The BlueArk Challenge is a call for projects designed to use open innovation methods to solve water management challenges. The 2020 theme focuses on the management of extreme climatic events (floods, droughts, pollution, etc.). The aim of this call for projects is to use innovative ideas and technologies to solve the problems faced by water stakeholders and professionals.
Application form on the BlueArk Challenge website.
Free entry and CHF 50,000 in prizes to be won
To be eligible, the proposed solutions must address the issue of managing extreme climatic events, or more precisely a challenge proposed by one of the BlueArk Challenge 2020 challenge sponsors.
The challenges are available on this page. New challenges are likely to appear until October 15.
In many cases, it's all about IT, and companies don't need to specialize in water:
- data mining, machine learning
- intelligence, prediction
- connected sensors (Lora, 4G, Wifi)
- drones
Are you looking for additional skills or specific technologies to meet a challenge? Use this form to announce your interest!
