Global Prize for Innovation in Water

Overview

The Global Prize for Innovation in Water (GPIW) is an international innovation prize launched by the Saudi Water Authority (SWA) to encourage and recognize innovative solutions to major challenges in the water sector. The prize targets researchers, innovators, universities, startups, companies, and other organizations developing technologies or approaches that can improve water sustainability, efficiency, availability, treatment, and resource management. The initiative aims to stimulate research and technological innovation and promote practical solutions that can contribute to global water security. As the prize is established and funded by the Saudi Water Authority, SWA can be classified as the donor/funder, while GPIW itself functions as an international award/innovation initiative rather than a conventional development project or grant-making organization.
