Our team is developing an XPRIZE for Water which will be presented at the XPRIZE Visioneers Summit in late September 2016. During the Summit our XPRIZE for Water will be competing against other XPRIZE Visioneer teams for the opportunity to be the next XPRIZE challenge.
We are reaching out to the global community of water practitioners and other interested parties to provide input to the development of our XPRIZE for Water. Our goal is to meet the challenge of providing universal access to safe water, always. Therefore, no idea is out of bounds and input is welcomed!
Please join the Xprize group and contribute your idea as a Water Visioneer. We will share all insights with Xprize group members as we proceed though the process.
Yours,
William Sarni
Director and Practice Leader - Deloitte Consulting
Bold Visioneer - XPRIZE
Advisor - The Water Network
