This year’s conference offers several exciting opportunities for early-stage innovators and researchers to engage with our unique community of industry professionals, researchers, and regulators, all with a shared focus on sensing in water.

Pitch & Progress: Innovation Clinic for Start-Ups

Are you part of a start-up or early-stage business working on water sensing, monitoring, or smart data solutions?
