Many of the water technologies in use today originated outside the corporate structure and outside the USA. It’s quite likely that some of the solutions that will become mainstream in the near future are being developed today in water research institutes and university laboratories. To get a glimpse of tomorrow’s technologies, we will take a look at what’s happening in the leading water research systems globally: Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research (Israel), Wetsus (Netherlands) and Uniquest (Australia).
This panel will give insight into what the future may hold for water innovations. The panel will also discuss their experience with licensing and technology spin-outs and commercialization.
