The Co-Creation Prize Breaking Silos for Collective Impact

Recognizing Pioneering Solutions in Water, Energy, and Agriculture

 — The inaugural Co-Creation Prize proudly announces its first collective winners, honoring transformative innovations addressing critical global challenges in water, energy, and agriculture. 

This gala centerpiece celebrates visionary partnerships and cutting-edge technologies that drive sustainable development and improve millions of lives worldwide.

Winners Across Three Categories:

• 500M Lives – Collective Winners:
  Dryp, Evodrop AG, and Pulse Industries have joined forces to revolutionize water and resource sustainability. Dryp leverages IoT and AI to optimize urban water management and reduce CO₂ emissions, Evodrop AG transforms agriculture with cold plasma technology to save water and fertilizers while boosting crop yields, and Pulse Industries offers the only proven large-scale solution for eliminating toxic “forever chemicals” from water.

• Net Zero & Next Gen – Collective Winners:
  OceanWell and PolyGone combine their advanced technologies to address water scarcity and plastic pollution. OceanWell’s modular subsea water farms are designed to boost global water supply sustainably, while PolyGone’s filtration systems capture up to 580 million microplastics annually.

• 500M Lives Runners Up:
  SkyH2O harnesses air to generate clean, drinkable water, and Wayout delivers purified water through a network free of single-use plastics. Together, their systems provide pristine drinking water for 100,000 people per installation, greatly reducing CO₂ emissions and plastic waste.

 

In addition to the Co-Creation Prize, which honors transformative innovations and visionary partnerships, the AquaCatalyst Award recognizes solutions that create tangible community impact by empowering citizens and fostering local entrepreneurship.

The AquaCatalyst Award winner, Openversum, works closely with communities through its innovative micro-franchising initiative—using a cutting-edge ERP system (the Microfranchising Digital Twin) to empower female entrepreneurs in water filtration and enhance local well-being.



 

Sustainability in Action
Mangrove Planting Initiative

The Catalysts of Impact Gala takes a stand for environmental impact through a mangrove planting initiative in partnership with UOCEAN 2050. For each guest attending, a mangrove tree will be planted, contributing to:

• Coastal Ecosystem Restoration: Mangroves protect shorelines, promote biodiversity, and filter pollutants.

• Enhanced Biodiversity: Thriving mangrove forests support a variety of marine life.

• Climate Change Mitigation: Mangroves store carbon dioxide, helping to combat climate change.

"This is about more than fundraising; it’s about building a community committed to meaningful change," said Chris Desai, Global Director of UOCEAN.
