WaterTech: Opportunities Emerging in "The Next Oil"

 

Despite the critical role of water in our lives, there has only recently begun a deepening mass awareness of its potential near term shortage due to waste and pollution. As such there are significant parallels to recent developments in clean-energy technologies related to use of oil, gas, and coal. In line with clean-technology trends, technologies oriented to water have been receiving significant recent interest from academics, entrepreneurs and investors alike. Some of these technologies are truly new, while others are simply updates to existing systems/processes.

The May 18th EntreTech Forum panel will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing entrepreneurs engaged in the water industry, and will incorporate the latest thinking in research, development and implementation of water technologies with leading participants in the industry. The panel will frame for the audience the general WaterTech landscape, define entrepreneurial opportunities within it, and highlight and explore cases and causes of success and failure.

 

Panelists:

James Dean – CEO – ZanAqua Technologies
Heather Landis - P.E., Analyst
Ed Lovelace – EVP of Engineering – Free Flow Power
Robin Lockwood - Senior Associate – Flybridge Capital Partners

Meeting Organizer:

Andrew Fairbairn – Fairbairn Ventures
