In the dynamic and ever-evolving field of water technology, the GPID stands as a beacon of opportunity for innovators and visionaries. The cornerstone of the GPID program is the unique opportunity it offers to its winners: the chance to pilot their groundbreaking technologies in some of the most advanced testing facilities and operational plants across the globe, located in the heart of Saudi Arabia.

This unparalleled access is not just about utilizing state-of-the-art facilities; it’s about immersing in an ecosystem of innovation and expertise. The collaboration with the Saudi Water Authority (SWA) and the Water Technologies Innovation Institute and Research Advancement (WTIIRA) is a testament to this commitment. SWA, a leader in desalination, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in large-scale water projects. WTIIRA, on the other hand, is at the forefront of research and development in water technologies, offering a rich environment for scientific exploration and discovery.

For the winners of the GPID program, this collaboration means more than just testing their technologies. It’s an opportunity to refine and adapt their innovations in real-world settings, guided by the expertise of SWA and WTIIRA. The feedback and insights gained from these interactions are invaluable, providing a practical understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the water technology sector.

This initiative not only accelerates the development of promising new technologies but also contributes significantly to the global quest for sustainable and efficient water solutions. By fostering a collaborative environment and providing access to top-tier facilities, the GPID program is setting a new standard in the field of water technology innovation, with Saudi Arabia leading the way as a hub for research, development, and real-world application.
