IBM invites applications for the next cohort of the IBM Sustainability Accelerator, which is focused on water management solutions. This program applies IBM technologies, such as hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence, and an ecosystem of experts to enhance and scale projects focused on populations vulnerable to environmental threats.
In alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, IBM will look to support projects that help improve equitable access to safe drinking water for all, improve water quality by reducing pollution, increase water-use efficiency across all sectors, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, increase sanitation management, and reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity—among other purposes.
The RFP process will include input from IBM across disciplines and representatives from organizations such as Water.org and the United Nations Development Programme. The selection criteria will consider the applicant's capacity and readiness to support communities that are especially vulnerable to water-related threats, technical feasibility and sustainability for the envisioned solution, and transparency on measurement and reporting—along with others.
A wide range of nonprofit (e.g., utility, job training, environmental, academic, etc.) and governmental (intergovernmental, national, state, local, etc.) organizations are eligible to apply.
For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the IBM website.
