The Watergenics fellowship

The Watergenics Fellowship is a private grant offered by Watergenics GmbH to entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, and artists, which think & act for the sustainable future of the world economy. The grant offers free working space and access to amenities at Watershed – the Watergenics Headquarters located in Germany’s epicenter of vision and entrepreneurship – Berlin Kreuzberg.

What it’s about

We invite creative minds to share with us 770 square meters open working space in a restored 1906 building in late Prussian industrial style. 4 labs, 2 working studios, an open atelier, and a library. All this is for you to think through, and build up, solutions for the future of the world economy.

The fellows will work alongside the Watergenics team, becoming part of the community for sharing and learning from everyone’s expertise. The broader the background and the more passionate, the better. Let us share the tools and ideas to shape a better future for future generations.

The fellowship is granted for a period of up to six months, to four simultaneous residences:

Entrepeneur in residence

Is aimed at entrepreneurs with a proven record in business (founded at least one company with over $ 1mil in investment, and trackable customer acquisition record). The business activity should be focused on the concept of sustainability, broadly defined.

Engineer in residence

Addresses open-mind engineers from all fields of engineering to share their passion with us. We especially envisage the fields of water engineering, optics, mechanical engineering, machine learning engineering & materials engineering.

scientist in residence

is aimed at, but not restricted to, scientists from the fields of economics, ecology, physics, mathematics, chemistry, psychology, history, social and cultural anthropology, sociology, and philosophy, who think and study the world of tomorrow.

artist in residence

Addresses musicians, painters, sculptors, but also writers, visual artists and journalists with a proven record of work, or a bold project.

The resident is welcomed to develop an already existing concept, or to search for a new one, or simply to find inspiration in science, engineering and business. At the end of the scholarship, the resident is expected to present the results of her or his activity in the form of a REHash containing a business model, a PoC, a scientific working-paper, or a public exhibition or concert. The REHash could involve members of the Watergenics team.
