You have probably heard that the Great Lakes has 20% of the world’s freshwater. This is remarkable, but unfortunately not that helpful for people around the world. The bigger story is that the region is a leader in innovations that bring efficiency improvements and risk management tools to communities around the world.
In recognition of 2021 World Water Day, Mazarine Ventures hosted a virtual 'open house' spotlighting some of the water/wastewater innovation activities across the Great Lakes region.
Instead of powerpoints or pitches, this 60-minute 'tour' offered attendees a thumbnail of the region’s heft in technology innovations that address water/wastewater challenges in agriculture, conservation, buildings, industry, and utilities.
Our Featured Participants spotlighted the region's innovation ecosystem, spanning: 1) test-bed, pilot, demo programs, 2) corporate innovation, and the 3) broader innovation ecosystem including universities, start-ups, non-profits, and talent. Featured Participants included: Rahim Kanji, Alaina Harkness, Ebie Hoist, Dean Amhaus, Judith Herschel Cole, Mark Bertler, Pete Nassos, Anders Hallsby, Mary Connelly Eggert, Kevin Sofen, and John Robinson
