The nationally award-winning Water Challenge is a collaborative initiative of The Idea Village and the Greater New Orleans Foundation (GNOF) that aims to identify and support entrepreneurial solutions that apply innovative approaches to how we live with water. Now in its fourth year, the 2014 Water Challenge will harness the entrepreneurial expertise found within our dynamic delta system to address flooding, water quality, and coastal restoration.

Louisiana is at the forefront in dealing with such water issues, and our entrepreneurs play a key role in developing scalable solutions. Applications for the 2014 program are now open and qualified entrepreneurs can apply until October 11, 2013. You’re the right fit for this program if you have an innovative technology and/or service that provides a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable means of dealing with Louisiana’s water challenges.
