How will it work? We will put you in small groups of likeminded cewas entrepreneurs and you will get the challenge to create an intercontinental business idea in less than one hour!

With cewas growing to 10 years old, innovation in water, sanitation, and resource management has never been more inclusive, creative, and solution-oriented. This means it is time to celebrate! We would have loved to throw a big party for our anniversary, but as you all know the Coronavirus is dictating on how we meet and how many of us can meet physically.

So instead of a big party, we decided to only invite our closest cewas friends physically to Willisau (Switzerland). You are one of them! We would love if you could join us for our celebrations on Thursday, 20^th of August from 13:30 onwards in the cewas Headquarters in Willisau, Switzerland.

We will start the afternoon with an entertaining sale pitch challenge with some of our best entrepreneurs from the last 10 years from all around the globe. Meet them, interact with then and be ready to select the best saleswoman or man in Water and Sanitation of all times! Afterwards, we are looking forward to invite you, other fellow guests and the entire cewas team to a festive dinner. Open end!

If you prefer to keep distance, we of course fully understand. However, you can also actively participate in the event online! All entrepreneurs will also participate only virtually and the whole event (13:30 – 17:30) will be filmed and streamed professionally.
