AquaHacking Lake Winnipeg Final
The virtual final for IISD’s AquaHacking Lake Winnipeg Challenge is just around the corner!
Since our semi-final in June, five teams of students and young professionals have been working with mentors to develop innovative tech solutions to urgent freshwater issues facing the Lake Winnipeg basin.
At the final, these teams will pitch their solutions to a panel of expert judges from the business, tech, and water sectors, who will determine which team will walk away with the top prize of $20,000 in seed funding. You’ll discover all the exciting solutions Canada’s young innovators have been developing over the last few months and meet the next generation of water entrepreneurs.
Tune in on Tuesday, October 20, at 4:00 p.m. (CST) on Facebook live to watch the top five finalist teams battle it out for top spot!
