Driving Innovation

IWS 2017

Networking

Innovate@IWS Presented in a live competition, 10 finalists in 3 categories were brought before a distinguished panel of judges to showcase the most promising technologies for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The winners were selected for demonstrating excellence in the areas of uniqueness and business potential, and were announced by Stuart Moss of Isle (co-organisers of the competition) and Dr. Taha Ouarda of Masdar Institute.

Winners of the Innovate@IWS competition

New Sky Energy’s SulfurCycle-R (SCR) process is a breakthrough gas sweetening technology that dramatically lowers the cost of H2S treatment, providing wastewater plants and landfills strong economic incentives to pursue renewable natural gas projects.

Salttech has developed the solution for treating high salinity polluted water in a single step process simply separating H2O from all the salts and other components in the influent. Salttech’s DyVaR technology provides the first Zero Liquid Discharge process (ZLD) that combines FULL water recovery with low cost operation.

Waterblade is a new and proven technology that at least halves the water consumption of your basin tap by taking a trickle of water and using its surface tension to spread it into a paper-thin sheet of water that gives a remarkably effective, efficient and luxurious hand wash.

Has been more than good. It's been excellent! We have made sales, got new contacts and won the innovation prize. There is nothing more that we could have hoped for.
