Congratulations to Wanit, a member of the ecobuild.brussels cluster, for winning the Innovative Starters Award 23.
Every year, Innoviris awards the prestigious Innovative Starters Award (ISA) to three start-ups or scale-ups that stand out for their innovation and ambition. This program provides a subsidy of 500 000 euros per company, granted by the Brussels-Capital Region to energize the local start-up ecosystem and foster the growth of the most promising technological enterprises in Brussels.
In the last edition, 13 candidates competed for this prize with ambitious projects in the Region’s six strategic innovation areas. After a thorough evaluation, the jury selected three start-ups, recognized for their strong innovation potential and commitment to sustainable entrepreneurship.
Wanit, founded by Christian Bayet, responds directly to the need for energy transition and sustainability. The company offers a high-performance preheater for hot water, which draws energy from photovoltaic solar panels. With this, Wanit contributes to making existing buildings more energy efficient and helps people access sustainable and low-cost energy.
