Pitch to Pilot: Bridging Reclamation’s Clean Water Technologies for Today and Tomorrow

The public is invited to join Day One of Reclamation's inaugural "Pitch to Pilot," a new event designed to identify and fund innovative water treatment technologies for enhancing existing freshwater supplies in the United States. This event will feature a unique competition approach where chosen applicants make an in-person "pitch" explaining why their water technology should be funded for further development. At the end of Day One, the public will have an opportunity to vote for Crowd Favorite. Day Two consists of private sessions where applicants offer a second pitch to a panel of technical and business experts. This panel determines who will receive funding of up to $100,000 per project by Reclamation’s Research and Development Office. Attendance is FREE! The public is also welcome to come early for a tour of the facility and engage in a 30 minute facility tour beginning at 4:00 pm with the final tour beginning at 5:30 pm. For safety reasons, attendees must not wear open-toed shoes or high heels. For more information, please email: research@usbr.gov
