WaterCampus Business Challenge successful

After an excellent week of hard working and high level networking, the sixteen participants in the fifth WaterCampus Water Business Challenge pitched their strengthened business plans in front of a jury of water technology investors and water technology experts. In this fifth edition of the challenge a group of nine nationalities worked on a diverse range of business ideas in different stages of development.

According to the jury, the two outstanding business plans were too close to call, which resulted in an ex aequo situation with two winners. Jan Buisman of CO2Dry BV won with a business plan for very energy efficient CO2 drying technology, producing high quality products. Arne Verliefde and Arnout D'Haese of A&A Water, won with their very innovative, simple and inexpensive solar driven clean water pump.
