As part of SA Waters partnership with Stone & Chalk, to end 2021 we will be hosting a reverse pitch challenge which will see SA Water surface internal problem statements, and innovators from Stone & Chalk’s network respond to those problem statements.

This program will be hosted in 3 parts.

Event 1 – 12 November – Virtual event, filmed at Lot Fourteen, providing an opportunity for SA Water team members to present internal problem statements
Event 2 – 2 December – Virtual event at Lot Fourteen, providing an opportunity for startups to pitch in response to problem statements
Event 3 – 8th December – face to face informal community get together drinks bringing together select SA Water staff and S&C innovator community as part of weekly community town hall – opportunity to recognise winners from program

SA Water has a proud history of innovating to deliver the essential water and wastewater services 1.7 million South Australians rely on.

This live stream event is an opportunity to hear directly from business owners within SA Water about problem statements they have prioritised and are seeking to collaborate with external innovators and the startup community next year.

The session will be followed up with an opportunity for startups and innovators to pitch their solutions to these problem statements, with a view to working with SA water to trial or prototype your idea.
