WaterTech Futures returns to New York Climate Week, bringing together more than 200 people across water technology, industry, investment, utilities, & climate innovation for an evening of industry perspectives, startup discovery, & networking.
As demand for critical minerals accelerates, recovering valuable materials from industrial water streams is emerging as an important opportunity at the intersection of water, energy, & resource security. During New York Climate Week, we are bringing together the companies, investors, & innovators working to turn that opportunity into commercial reality.
