Fall 2025 Tech Challenge: Smart Water Quality Leadership
APPLICATION DEADLINE: OCT. 10
We’re seeking innovators to help shape the future of water.
The Water Council, on behalf of industry leaders A. O. Smith Corporation, Badger Meter, Watts Water Technologies and Xylem, presents its Fall 2025 Tech Challenge: Technologies to Better Manage Water Quality within Water Systems and Enable Smarter, Faster Decision-Making.
Through this challenge, we seek technology solutions and/or new systems, processes or tools for decision-making support for water quality addressing any stage of the water cycle related to human consumption, including drinking water and wastewater systems across residential, commercial and utility-scale applications well as their distribution networks.
We welcome innovative solutions at TRL 3 and above that provide a new level of decision-making support for water quality.
Please note: Ultrapure water system and natural resource management solutions are not within the scope of this challenge.
For technologies submitted to the Tech Challenge, only what is publicly shareable should be included in the entry. If discussions with sponsor organizations continue outside the competition, mutual NDAs can be put in place by the participating entities at that time.
