​You are invited to take a seat at Water Rising Institute’s 75th WaterTable, a high-trust, invitation-only roundtable convened alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos 2026.

​This gathering brings together family offices, public and private principals, policymakers, and system builders to align on long-duration capital solutions for water infrastructure, solutions that deliver measurable human and ecological wellness outcomes, enable intergenerational impact, and support the legislative pathways required to scale resilient systems globally.

​Join us on Sunday January 18, 2026, in a serene alpine chalet, for a focused day of dialogue and hands-on problem solving centered on water infrastructure innovation. Hosted by Water Rising Institute and Meaningful Ventures 2.0, the WaterTable convenes investors, engineers, operators, and project developers to tackle the real-world barriers to financing, scaling, and delivering next-generation water systems.

​The day blends moderated roundtable conversations with an applied innovation lab, where participants will:

• ​Workshop live infrastructure and technology projects

• ​Stress-test financing and ownership models

• ​Identify policy enablers and constraints

• ​Fast-track partnership and capital commitments

​Participants will leave with clear next steps, trusted connections to aligned capital and delivery partners, and concrete pathways for transforming technical water solutions into bankable, scalable, and resilient projects.

​Take a seat at the (water) table—and help shape the systems that will sustain communities, economies, and ecosystems for generations to come.

​Why Water
Water now sits at the convergence of geopolitical risk, infrastructure investment, public health, climate adaptation, and technological transformation. For long-term allocators, water represents both systemic vulnerability and a defining opportunity for resilient, mission-aligned capital deployment.

​Select sessions will examine the implications of emerging technologies, including quantum and AI, for long-term systems resilience, security, and capital allocation.

​WaterHouse integrates Blue Mind–informed water wellness programming throughout the week, supporting clarity, mental health, wellbeing, and performance during one of the most demanding convening environments of the year. Participation is intentionally limited to preserve trust, depth of exchange, and quality of relationships. A small cohort of founding Family Offices will help shape the WaterHouse roadmap and participate in a collective signal moment during WEF week.

​About The WaterHouse Project
WaterHouse is a global delivery and financing platform advancing water infrastructure modernization as a coordinated supply chain. Over a 13-month formation arc, it will:

​Establish governance and operating cadence

• ​Launch Regional Development Initiatives (RDIs) with measurable outcomes

• ​Mobilize at least $50B for water system upgrades by 2030

​Why It Matters
Water systems face aging infrastructure, climate volatility, workforce shortages, supply chain constraints, and regulatory complexity. Modernization requires coordinated execution, not just awareness or technology.

​​tabl'eau Filtered Water

​​Beyond fulfilling a fundamental human need, the universal desire for water creates the opportunity to curate a memorable experience.

​​At tabl’eau, it is our goal is to be the most significant water company of the 21st century, while advancing the world’s transition away from single-use packaged and delivered water. 

​​As a filtration company, we bring that vision to life not only by filtering, chilling, and offering premium sparkling and still filtered water on tap directly on site.

​​Historically the provision of water has been characterized by an industrial and institutional aesthetic. Industrial materials had been prioritized, straightforward forms used and fixtures had a utilitarian approach, all with little consideration for visual appeal. In taking this opportunity to set ourselves apart, we introduced functional design and elegant aesthetics with exceptional certified service to deliver an end-to-end premium, product taste and service experience. The result is a moment of connection — between people and place, between taste and purpose.  

​​tabl’eau is water as a service, embodied by our signature tabl’eau Carafe.  Handcrafted from recycled glass, the carafe is both elegant and purposeful — a quiet statement that premium, planet-conscious water is available here, to be enjoyed effortlessly as it works to solve. tabl’eau also moves beyond the transaction of leasing our systems as we unlock new revenue opportunities for our clients.
