The Bridge Hub 2020 Water Challenge is offering the opportunity for researchers to make a difference, solve real-life water problems across the agrisystem – and win prizes and investment.

Are you or someone you know working on a solution that could solve these problems:

  • How can the agrisystem use less water and increase productivity and profitability?

  • How can we ensure the quality of water optimises the outcomes for the agrisystem and the environment

  • How can we turn arid agricultural areas into vibrant, sustainable and productive regions?

  • How can different sectors outside the agrisystem align to optimise water usage?

The Water Challenge offers an opportunity for you to put forward your research, ideas and solutions, knowing that you could be contributing to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems, including managing water to reduce the impact of drought.

Our research stream is proudly sponsored by CSIRO and the winning solution will receive a $25,000 cash prize PLUS Blue River Group will commit up to A$100,000 of investment into the commercial outcome of the prize winning research.

Commercialisation support will be provided by Bridge Hub. There will also be connection to New Zealand, Israeli and global innovation and water experts – so this is a big opportunity!

The Bridge Hub 2020 Water Challenge is open for applications from Monday 29 June to Friday 7 August.
