Meet The Finalists Of Dubai Startup Hub’s Smartpreneur Competition 6.0: Hydro Wind Energy – Entrepreneur

Hydro Wind Energy is one of the top 10 startups pitching for prizes worth a total of AED150,000 at the finals of Dubai Startup Hub’s Smartpreneur Competition 6.0, which will be staged as part of Entrepreneur Middle East’s Enterprise Agility Forum 2022 at Expo 2020 Dubai on January 20, 2022.  

It often takes a team of talented individuals gathered from all corners of the world to develop a first-of-its-kind kind device, and that’s certainly the case for tech startup Hydro Wind Energy, which has built QuenchSea, a low-cost seawater desalination device that produces fresh water from seawater using only manual power. Led by Hayk Vasilyan, Maryam Ahmed Hassani, and Pranay Addepalli, co-founders of Hydro Wind Energy, the startup has been built on the premise that innovation has the ability to change people’s lives for the better. "Over 2.2 billion people worldwide lack partial or complete access to clean fresh water, and we wanted to make an impact on the world’s water crisis,” says Hassani. “For that reason, QuenchSea was primarily developed to cater for the humanitarian and disaster relief sectors.”
