The State of Water Tech in Minnesota
We're thrilled to announce the next MN Water Tech event on October 27! We invite you to join us for an informal social gathering of Minnesota’s growing water innovation ecosystem. This is a chance to hear from those on the cutting edge of water innovation and connect with start-ups, investors, researchers, policy makers, nonprofit leaders, and professionals accelerating water solutions across our state and beyond.
This time we've expanded the event to bring you a panel discussion on the state of water tech, speakers giving short talks about their journeys, along with plenty of time for networking.
We're also thrilled to have Veolia as a sponsor. Light food and refreshments will be served.
