Investing in Water: A Practical Guide
In autumn 2023, UpLink, the World Economic Forum’s open innovation platform, teamed up with the European Water Tech Accelerator. The aim was to provide interested impact investors with a sound introduction to the water investment landscape as part of the Aquapreneur Innovation Initiative objective of driving investment in water innovation. Both organizations are encountering mounting curiosity and increasing numbers of requests from investors eager to learn more about water and its opportunities but unsure where to start.

Supporting Water-Smart Industrial Symbiosis
ULTIMATE is a 4-year project, funded by Horizon2020, aiming to enhance sustainability and create economic value by improving water and energy efficiency, and harnessing resources in the water cycle. In progressing “Water Smart Industrial Symbiosis” (WSIS), ULTIMATE demonstrates the synergies that can found in the systematic reuse of water. Establishing WSIS as a vector for energy through heat recovery, a means of material extraction and sustainable energy production, and a catalyst for water treatment and reuse, all within a socio-economic and business-oriented framework.

Resource Recovery from Industrial Wastewater Through Microbial Electrochemical Technologies
The global energy crisis due to the diminishing of fossil fuels with an increasing demand for power has a major impact on the environment and the health of humans. On the contrary, waste production has been increasing for many decades. Among wastewaters, industrial wastewater is a challenging threat in today’s era. To generate bioenergy as an alternative energy source, wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery by microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) are very efficient.

Pushing the Paradigm of Global Water Security
This book brings together early career researchers, non-governmental organisation (NGO) and industry practitioners, indigenous and local communities, and government agency workers to interrogate the concept of water security. By collating their multicultural perspectives, diverse contributions, and illustrative media, this book challenges the current anthropocentric, technocratic narrative of water security, according to which:

The Future of Water: Economic Risks and Sustainable Solutions
Water is the foundation of life on Earth, essential for ecosystems, human survival, and economic development. Beyond its direct use in drinking and sanitation, water is the silent force that drives industries, fuels agricultural productivity, and powers energy production. Its availability and efficient management are crucial to the global economy. Yet, the world faces an alarming water crisis that threatens economic stability, exacerbates inequalities, and undermines the resilience of businesses.
