The Water Council is a member of the Wisconsin Technology Council.
Ten water technology start-ups from five countries – spanning AI for water utilities to nutrient-harvesting from algae to rapid detection of bacteria in drinking water – will receive targeted training, network connections and the opportunity to pitch their innovations worldwide as part of the 2024 cohort of The Water Council’s BREW 2.0 Post-Accelerator.
The companies, hailing from the U.S., Canada, Ireland, France and Switzerland, will receive several weeks of virtual training in spring and participate in an in-person week in Milwaukee in June, culminating in a public pitch event on Wednesday, June 26. The in-person week also includes a curated investor and corporate event in partnership with NVNG Investment Advisors. The companies are all market-ready or early in-market, a critical time for growth and scale.
The cohort was selected from nearly 50 applications from 13 countries. BREW 2.0 is sponsored by Beckhoff Automation, Xylem and Thales Water Advisors.
