Introduction.
The Holland Water Challenge is a competition that inspires international young water talent to take an active role in finding innovative and sustainable solutions to real-life delta and water problems. In a unique way, the Holland Water Challenge unlocks knowledge and talent to the benefit of all its stakeholders: participating companies, aspiring young people as well as local universities and governments.

Since 2010, the Holland Water Challenge expanded to connect over 40 companies, research institutions and universities worldwide. More than 150 ambitious graduate students and young researchers participated. Together, they proposed almost 50 new ideas to address important delta and water challenges.

With each edition of the Holland Water Challenge, the community of young international water students and researchers is growing.
