Water technologies may be the one solution that stands between success and failure of the water sector. Faced with ever-increasing challenges like population growth, climate change, increased water scarcity, tougher regulations and dwindling resources, the sector could benefit from an increase in more efficient systems, investments and new developments in game-changing technologies.

“Water equipment suppliers need to position themselves to maximize new market developments, and water utilities need to understand which new technologies can radically alter their cost base.  For engineers and contractors, it is critical that they know about the new technologies that will allow them to stay ahead of the game,” said Paul O’Callaghan, CEO of BlueTech Research.

“Increased investments in new technologies have also become an imperative. This requires that we move beyond the hype and guide investors towards the real opportunities for investments in the sector,” he noted.

Venture capitalists, industry executives, and water utility leaders can gain access to the water technology innovation landscape at the BlueTech Research 2012 Water Technology Market Trends & Technology Directions Webinar.

“Throughout 2012, we mapped, analyzed and benchmarked the water technology innovation landscape, market drivers, emerging areas of innovation, disruptive technologies, company strategies, the regulatory environment, and we want to share this invaluable information,” he added.

On November 29, at 11 a.m. EST, BlueTech Research is hosting a webinar with a distinguished panel of international experts who will provide insights on game-changing technologies, best growth opportunities in the sector, and the broader context of disruptive water technology development.

“These experts understand why innovation is necessary in the water sector, the water technology market structure, and more importantly, how is it evolving,” explained O’Callaghan. “They bring deep domain expertise, a unique industry perspective, and unrivaled knowledge and understanding of innovative water technologies, and the dynamics of the market.”

Moderated by O’Callaghan, the webinar will cover the USA shale gas and produced water treatment market, stormwater treatment and management market, ion exchange resin market, ceramic membranes in water and wastewater treatment, and advanced nutrient removal and recovery.
