Galp Upcoming Energies supports the Energy Category of TecStorm 2023

With 8 finalists in 4 categories and more than 600 applications, TecStorm is the biggest college hackathon in Portugal.

On April 16th, TecStorm 2023’s closing ceremony took place in Fundação Chapalimaud. The university students who participated in the competition were divided into 4 main categories: connectivity, energy, health, and fintech.   

At the event, the winners of each category were announced, with Manuel Andrade, Head of Open Innovation, and Joana Larsen, Open Innovation Lead, as part of the Jury. The winner in the category "Energy solutions for a low carbon future" was the Watr project, which positions itself as an environmentally friendly method of preserving and reusing cold shower water by diverting it to the flush toilet. Galp Upcoming Energies was the sponsor of this module.  

The final event brought together over 300 people for a day of presentations and roundtables to connect young students and corporates and foster the entrepreneurship ecosystem.
