AquaAction to Host 1,000 Participants for Water Solutions in 2026

AquaAction will expand its AquaHacking program in 2026, aiming to involve 1,000 individuals in addressing water challenges throughout the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence region. The initiative seeks to foster cross-border collaboration and develop new water technologies. Soula Chronopoulos, President of AquaAction, stated the program's commitment to international partnerships, working with groups like the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative. This marks the program's tenth year. The 10-month AquaHacking curriculum guides participants in developing water-focused businesses. It offers mentorship, technical assistance, and initial funding. Participants will tackle issues such as improving water access in underserved areas, developing drought-resistant farming methods, and strengthening municipal water systems. AquaAction is actively seeking partners and sponsors to support its objective of creating a more water-secure future through practical solutions.
