Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative partners to scale water innovations. Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 By Arya S Nair, Desk Reporter * Follow author on The Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative, Dalio Philanthropies, Imagine H2O, and XPRIZE Foundation have launched a strategic collaboration to accelerate the commercialization, deployment, and scaling of promising water technologies beyond innovation competitions. The collaboration was announced in New York during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA81). Backed in part by a multi-year grant from Dalio Philanthropies, the initiative combines the expertise of the four organizations to strengthen support for innovators tackling global water scarcity. The partnership addresses a key challenge in the water innovation ecosystem, where breakthrough technologies often require continued commercial, technical, and ecosystem support to achieve large-scale adoption after completing innovation competitions. Under the collaboration, Imagine H2O will lead accelerator and commercialization efforts for selected innovators, providing market development, pilot design and deployment support, stakeholder engagement, and commercial readiness assistance. You may like. The program will initially support innovators participating in the XPRIZE Water Scarcity and Al Miyah Challenge competitions, extending support beyond the competition phase. The organizations will also explore opportunities for ecosystem collaboration, knowledge sharing, case studies, and other joint initiatives to help move promising water technologies from innovation to commercial deployment. The collaboration reflects The Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative's broader focus on bridging the gap between innovation and large-scale implementation. The announcement followed the closed-door high-level roundtable, Beyond the Prize: When Can Competitions and Awards Catalyse Change?, hosted by The Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative on the sidelines of UNGA81 and New York Climate Week. The session brought together leaders from philanthropy, innovation, investment, accelerators, and industry to discuss how prizes and challenges can better support long-term impact. "Competitions play an important role in bringing fresh perspectives and creativity to complex challenges, creating the conditions for breakthrough innovation. But identifying a promising solution is only one part of the journey. Innovators also need the commercial capabilities, partnerships, customers and deployment pathways to turn technological progress into lasting real-world impact. This collaboration extends the innovation journey beyond the competition itself and creates stronger pathways for high-potential water innovations to advance toward commercialization, adoption and scale." Ray Dalio, Co-Founder of Dalio Philanthropies, stated that, "There is nothing more important to human survival than clean water and not having enough of it is an increasing risk. Supporting this joint approach from the Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative, Imagine H2O, and the XPRIZE Foundation to bring talent and technology to deal with this challenge is probably the best catalytic capital investment we can make." Scott Bryan, President of Imagine H2O, commented that, "For more than 15 years, Imagine H2O has worked alongside entrepreneurs, water utilities, industrial users, and growers to close that gap. This partnership with Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative extends that work to a new group of innovators, connecting promising solutions with the customers and institutions that can help them scale." Anousheh Ansari, CEO of XPRIZE Foundation, said that, "Partnerships like this are critical to the success of XPRIZE competitions, helping bridge the gap between innovation and implementation and accelerating breakthrough technologies toward market readiness. By bringing innovators, industry leaders and communities together, we can help transform promising solutions into scalable technologies capable of addressing one of the world's most urgent challenges."
