Water Conservation & Resilience Operations Challenge

Donor Name: CapitaLand

The Water Conservation & Resilience Operations Challenge from CapitaLand invites startups and small and medium-sized enterprises to propose pilot-ready technologies that reduce water use and expand alternative water sources in existing buildings without major retrofits.

Water scarcity and limited access to potable water are prompting building owners to seek alternative water sources. Although greywater can be reclaimed and rainwater harvested and treated, using these sources in existing properties can require substantial changes to pipes and storage systems.

Proposed solutions should make it easier to collect, pipe and treat water in existing buildings without major retrofit works, fit within limited installation space, offer strong financial benefits relative to cost, and use energy reasonably with a low carbon footprint. Solutions should be ready to pilot at Technology Readiness Level 8 or higher, with proof of implementation. Areas of interest include water efficiency and greywater or rainwater harvesting for uses beyond irrigation, such as toilet flushing and showers; innovative robotics technologies are also of interest.

Eligible participants must be at least 18 years old and be a startup or small or medium-sized enterprise. Multinational corporations, CapitaLand or Padang & Co employees, people involved in organising or judging the challenge, and their immediate family members are not eligible. Proposed solutions must be at least at Technology Readiness Level 8, with the final product in its final configuration successfully demonstrated in its intended operational environment and platform. Submissions must be original work owned by the participants and must not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of another person or entity.
