✨ Throwback to an inspiring day with the juniors’ program!

One of the highlights was the study visit to Xylem, where learning met hands-on experience. 💧🏢

The finalists were welcomed by the Xylem team before splitting into smaller groups to explore different stations – from testing wastewater pumps to discovering Xylem’s youth programs. ✨

The visit ended with a shared lunch, great conversations, and new connection. 💙

A big thank you to Xylem for opening the doors and creating such an engaging experience that continues to inspire! 🙏

Innovation in action! 
 
The SJWP finalists spent a day at IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute  exploring real-world water research at Sjöstadsverket Water Innovation Centre (SWIC). 🌍✨
 
Divided into three groups, the finalists rotated through different stations, gaining hands-on insights into how IVL turns research into practical solutions for today’s water challenges.💧
 
The visit wrapped up with an interactive lunch at the IVL office, where finalists and National Organizers connected over presentations and discussions about IVL’s impact. 
 
A heartfelt thank you to IVL for an inspiring and memorable learning experience! 🙏💙

As part of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize program, the finalists and National Organizers enjoyed an inspiring day at Skansen – the world’s first and oldest open-air museum! 🌿

The day featured a guided tour by Skansen, while the Xylem team shared insights about their water projects, including improving the water supply for Skansen’s seal enclosures, showcasing sanitation and hygiene, and creating hands-on learning opportunities about water’s role in history and sustainable development. 💧✨
 
The visit ended with a delicious Swedish dinner of classic meatballs, where everyone shared stories, laughter, and great conversations. 🥘💙
 
A big thank you to Skansen and Xylem for making this day so memorable and inspiring! 🙏

🇪🇬 Meet today’s finalists from Egypt:

👉 Adam Elsayed Salama & Ahmed Eldeeb
👉 Project: AI-Optimized Hydro-Zeolite Photocatalytic Wastewater Purifier

Their project presents a smart, three-stage system that combines hydrogel desalination, zeolite-based pollutant removal, and a doped photocatalyst that regenerates the materials for repeated use.

Now, they’re taking it a step further — adapting the system to use a lightweight AI model that reads real-time sensor data to optimize material selection on the go.
