Lux Water Intelligence

Clean water — an essential resource for all life and economic activity — is becoming increasingly scarce as populations and economies grow. New technologies and business models that address aging infrastructure, water reuse, disinfection, and efficient water use are vital to address burgeoning global water demand. However, companies looking for profitable innovation in the water universe must:

• Separate meaningful innovation from background noise
• Navigate large, complex, hyper-local markets
• Compare new technologies and business models against old ones
• Understand regulations, industry inertia, and other unique drivers
• Identify how different technologies interact
• Understand which segments are positioned for growth and which are set to shrink
