Now in it's 3rd year, Erie Hack is a multi-month innovation challenge that brings together techies, creative thinkers, and entrepreneurs from the Lake Erie Basin and beyond to develop technology solutions for the lake’s greatest challenges such as water quality, infrastructure, and social awareness. Since its inception in 2017, Erie Hack has been a collaboration between Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA) and partners from Buffalo, Detroit, Windsor, and Toledo. This hackathon spans several months of pitch competition events, culminating in the final pitch event in Cleveland. Winning innovators earn cash prizes and support services, with more than $250,000 awarded to date.
