About this Event
The world is facing a water crisis driven by climate change, population growth, industrial and agricultural demand, pollution, aging infrastructure and mismanagement. For businesses, this is both an environmental issue and a material risk. Agriculture, manufacturing, technology and other industries depend on reliable water access. Data centers require large volumes for cooling, while food and beverage companies rely on stable supplies for crops.
Governments and companies are investing in transformative solutions, from smart irrigation and solar desalinization to advanced recycling and efficiency technologies. The U.S. alone faces a $1 trillion need to modernize water infrastructure over the next 25 years. This creates compelling opportunities for investors – from municipal bonds and water-focused ETFs to private equity support for breakthrough technologies in filtration, monitoring and reuse. This timely panel will explore:
- drivers of the water crisis
- strategic rationale for investing in water infrastructure and technologies
- most promising investment structures for capturing long-term water-related value
- specific examples of investments in water
- developments that would unlock greater institutional capital in this space
Please join us to gain insights into how innovation, policy and investment are converging to shape the future of water.
