I hope everyone had a restful holiday with family and friends because we are jumping right into 2023 with new leaders, strengthening programs and growing collaborations.

In part 2 of our New Horizons series, we talk to Rapid Radicals Technology, a high-rate wastewater treatment technology organization. Rapid Radicals is based in the U.S. and looking to expand to other markets, particularly the United Kingdom.

In 2022, it seemed that every other week a new water crisis dominated the headlines. The scale and speed of escalation only intensified during the year. Yet I remain optimistic about our ability to address water challenges.

The Water Council is currently working with several start-ups around the globe who are making an impression by pursuing growth opportunities beyond their current geographies, identifying regions beyond their own, where their solutions can make a meaningful difference.  Here we talk to WaterWebTools of Denmark about their growth into the United States.

When we look back at 2022, we might see it as the year the world finally took notice of the rapid and dramatic escalation of critical water challenges. But I remain optimistic about our abilities to solve and adapt to these challenges as I watch our members develop new water technologies and adopt water stewardship best practices to use water more wisely and reduce operational risks.

Learn about our new matchmaking web page, the search for start-ups to take part in BREW 2.0 2023, growth in our water stewardship programs and more in the November newsletter.

Welcome to the next entry in our Where Are They Now? series. This time we’re featuring Fixed Earth Innovations. Fixed Earth won our fall 2020 Tech Challenge with its solution to remediate PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” Since then, the company has expanded into the U.S., brought in Cimbria Capital (a member of The Water Council) as a shareholder and more. President Timothy Repas also sat on the PFAS panel at our 2022 Water Leaders Summit. Check out our interview with Daniel Lanman, Fixed Earth executive vice president.

The Water Council has just wrapped up the busiest two weeks in recent memory. We saw many of you at our Water Leaders Summit the first week of October, and even more of you the following week at WEFTEC. Meanwhile, we hosted a delegation from Phuket, Thailand, and welcomed several new tenants to our headquarters at the Global Water Center.

Our Water Leaders Summit is only two weeks away! We’ve put together a dynamite slate of discussions for the Oct. 5 and 6 event centered on today’s biggest water headlines, including water scarcity in the West, water’s role in national security, corporate water stewardship and PFAS remediation.
