Tech Challenge Informational Webinar

​The Water Council, in partnership with Badger Meter, Watts Water, and Xylem, is scouting for the building blocks of a Cognitive Water Ecosystem.

​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.

​The Challenge:

​Transform fragmented infrastructure into a reliable, self-optimizing network. We are seeking modular, AI-first components that power:

• ​Predictive Intelligence & Closed-Loop Automation

• ​System Optimization & Real-time Decision-making

• ​Autonomous & Self-Healing Infrastructure

​Why Attend?

​Get direct insight into what industry leaders are looking for in:

• ​Molecular Intelligence: AI-driven water testing and treatment.

• ​Resource Stewardship: AI-supported material recovery.

• ​Cognitive Conservation: Algorithmic efficiency and waste reduction.

​Note: Solutions for data center cooling, digital water platforms, and foam fractionation are out of scope.

​Let’s build the future of water.
