Registration Zoom Session December 15th
WaterVent can be perceived as a Corporate Venturing Forum in the water tech nexus. Water technology innovators have to cope with two main challenges:
- I. funding (by VC, corporates, charities & foundations, Family Offices, private individuals, public grants & loans)
- II. detecting and convincing (first) Clients (application references!) - industrial corporates, farmers, real estate owners and utilities which are open minded (courageous?) to give new and - often - disruptive technologies a trial
WaterVent is a platform dedicated to matching innovators and these two groups by showcasting water technology innovations to those who are in need of and/or who want to engage in.
