SUMMARY:Tech Challenge Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 12 to learn more about our spring Tech Challenge!​ \nThe Water Council\, in partnership with Badger Meter\, Watts Water\, and Xylem\, is scouting for the building blocks of a Cognitive Water Ecosystem. \n​We aren’t just looking for “smart” water; we are seeking AI-native technologies (TRL 3+) that move the industry from reactive to autonomous. If your tech redefines how water is sensed\, treated\, distributed\, or recovered\, we want to see it. \n​The Challenge: \n​Transform fragmented infrastructure into a reliable\, self-optimizing network. We are seeking modular\, AI-first components that power: \n\nPredictive Intelligence & Closed-Loop Automation\nSystem Optimization & Real-time Decision-making\nAutonomous & Self-Healing Infrastructure\n\n​Why Attend? \n​Get direct insight into what industry leaders are looking for in: \n\nMolecular Intelligence: AI-driven water testing and treatment.\n​Resource Stewardship: AI-supported material recovery.\nCognitive Conservation: Algorithmic efficiency and waste reduction.\n\n\n​Note: Solutions for data center cooling\, digital water platforms\, and foam fractionation are out of scope. \n​Let’s build the future of water.
