Calling researchers and university students from Lebanon to apply to the NEX-LABS Commercialization Support Voucher of 5,000 euros to transform their project in the Water-Food-Energy Nexus into a viable business.
This prize will grant 2 promising researchers or academics 5,000 euros worth of support in the form of mentorship and business training allowing them to validate, commercialize, or create a spin-off venture.
This prize is directed at acquiring services for researchers that have obtained research results in the field of Water-Energy-Food (WEF) NEXUS towards enabling commercialization and the creation of spin-offs. It is not intended for direct employment, R&D costs, or services other than consulting/advisory services.
NEX-LABS aims to support the implementation of clean technologies for a sustainable and resilient increase of agri-food sector production based on more efficient use of energy (renewable/solar solutions) and water (wastewater treatment, water harvesting, or reuse solutions) in the MPC region thanks to the contributions of ICT such as blockchain technology, Internet or the Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Big Data.
NEX-LABS will contribute to the creation of a sustainable and resilient agro-food sector based on NEXUS driven Open Living Labs (NDOLL) approach, thus strengthening technology transfer, cooperation industry-academia, increasing commercialization opportunities, and innovation-driven growth.
