In this 50-minute session, delegates will have the opportunity to join designated tables for a brief presentation by a member of the O2 Environmental Technology Assessment Group (TAG) followed by a roundtable discussion on critical and controversial issues in the water technology market.
These TAG members are industry leaders with unrivalled water technology market intelligence who will share key and exclusive insights on technology and market areas while moderating the discussion.
Collectively, the O2 TAG provides strategic consultancy and technology due diligence for many of the world’s leading water technology firms, research institutes, and investors, including Fortune 500 companies.
All BlueTech Forum participants will have the opportunity to take part in the separate roundtable discussions. A BlueTech Research briefing memo on each technology and market area will be prepared and provided to all the roundtable attendees.
