GWI Workshop- Beating the Burn Rate- The route to rapid commercialisation in the water industry
Published on by Edyta Bednorz, Global Water Intelligence - Brand Marketing Executive in Business
'The Water Value Revolution' aims to determine water's key role in the future of sustainable economic growth and to revolutionise the role of water in the global economy. Business leaders, CEOs of industrial water users, utility managers, leading water technology providers and major investors will come together to share their water management insights, and to point the way towards making water an economic value and a source for innovation, rather than a limitation on operations.
The Global Water Summit for 2015 will be held in Athens on 27th and 28th April 2015 at The InterContinental Hotel Athenaeum. Hosted by Global Water Intelligence and the International Desalination Association, the Summit is the leading business event for water leaders throughout the world.
This event will push forward with the ambition to strengthen the growing link between water and economic development through a range of progressive and stimulating sessions. Formats include inspirational plenary talks, dedicated networking roundtables, pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, break-out sessions and workshops.
A new element of the Summit is the pre summit workshop which is tailored especially for the new start-up companies who are eager to grow and are aspiring to become a future key player in the water market. An innovative and extremely informative GWI Workshop: Beating the Burn Rate will be held on the 26th of April.
The water business often seems resistant to innovation, with many start-ups burning cash while potential customers procrastinate over whether or not to adopt a new technology. It doesn't need to be that way if you know how to work the market to your advantage.
This half day workshop led jointly by one of the industry's most successful entrepreneurs and the leading advisor on market development shows the road map to rapid commercialisation avoiding the pitfalls, money traps, and dead ends that destroy shareholder value for too many technology companies. A must-go experience for water technology companies and their investors.
