Organised together by the Innovation Hub BlueArk Entremont, The Ark and ALTIS, the BlueArk Challenge is a call for projects, which aims to solve water management challenges using open innovation methods. Ten or so problems are detailed on the BlueArk Challenge website. Engineers, companies active in the field and any other actor who thinks they have a suitable solution are called upon to propose their solutions by 15 December. A jury of experts will select the five most relevant proposals, which will be awarded CHF 10,000 cash each. The winners will also have the opportunity to co-create their solution with professionals in the field. All information can be found at www.blueark-challenge.ch.
