OneMekong Ideas
Inspiring ideas and turning them into impactful solutions — through open challenges, fellowships and the OneMekong incubator.
OneMekong runs an annual open challenge, a fellowship for early-career Mekong innovators, and a small incubator that helps the most promising ideas grow into deployable solutions. Every supported idea is required to be open and to work with at least one community partner.
Annual themed challenges — water, climate, agriculture, education — open to teams across the basin.
12-month fellowships for early-career Mekong innovators with mentorship and a stipend.
Hands-on support to take a prototype from working demo to deployed solution.
Quarterly pitch days where teams present to community partners and funders.
Every funded idea is required to release code, data and learnings openly.
We prioritise teams that span at least two Mekong countries.
