The Miami-Dade Innovation Authority (MDIA) has launched its 8th Public Innovation Challenge: Optimizing Water Operations Across Miami-Dade.
This new challenge seeks innovative, pilot-ready solutions that support Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) operations, including technologies that intercept and process fats, oils, and grease (FOG), improve infrastructure maintenance, strengthen system reliability, and enhance operational efficiency.
The challenge is especially relevant for restaurants, cafés, and food-service businesses that generate FOG through their Discharge Control Permit, as FOG continues to impact wastewater infrastructure across the County.
Early- to growth-stage technology startups are encouraged to apply and help shape the future of water and wastewater operations in Miami-Dade County.
Application deadline: July 15, 2026.
