Curated, closed-door forums for leaders shaping the future of water.
For more than a decade, BlueTech Forum has convened senior decision-makers to explore the most pressing challenges facing the global water sector. Today, it does so through two distinct formats, each designed for a different kind of conversation.
Tokyo, Japan
In partnership with Kurita.
A closed-door forum designed for in-depth peer exchange, where a small, curated group explores shared challenges through open dialogue.
Beaverton, OR
In partnership with Nike.
A curated, closed-door forum focused on alignment, momentum, and action around shared challenges.
BlueTech Forum Ignite gathers a highly curated group of leaders whose work continues to shape the global direction of sustainability and corporate water strategy. The event brings together senior representatives from major brands, influential thinkers, investors, solution providers and directors responsible for driving innovation across industries. The environment is intentionally high trust and designed to allow peers to speak openly about challenges, opportunities and the future paths their organisations are exploring.
Additional speakers will be confirmed over the coming months. The strength of the group lies not only in the expertise of each individual, but in the diversity of perspectives they bring to the discussion.
From the global flagship event in Edinburgh to our Unplugged editions co-hosted with Nike in Oregon and Kurita in Tokyo, these recent BlueTech Forums showcase the power of focused dialogue and meaningful partnership. Each gathering offers a distinct perspective, from corporate water stewardship to breakthrough innovation pathways. All united by our mission to accelerate water innovation.

Since 2011, BlueTech Forum has been convening the world’s most forward-thinking water leaders from innovators and utilities to investors and policymakers, in cities across the globe. Whether hosted in tech hubs like San Francisco and Tokyo, or sustainability capitals like Dublin and Vancouver, each edition creates a unique space for candid dialogue, insight-sharing, and connection.
With events now spanning over a decade and locations including London, Edinburgh, and most recently, Tokyo and Oregon, the Forum continues to evolve through its flagship gatherings and the Unplugged series; high-impact, invite-only editions hosted in collaboration with regional partners.
One of the 2025 Unplugged Forums in Tokyo brought global water innovation to the heart of Japan with roundtables, keynote insights, a book signing, and the premiere of Our Blue World. A powerful day of exchange hosted at Ireland House.
