Digital Transformation for the Water Industry: Europe
Posted on May 3rd, 2016 | No Comments »
Last week I had to opportunity to visit Kraków, Poland. Our Water Innovations Alliance Foundation (WIAF) Co-founder, Mark Modzelewski is now living in Krakow. Beautiful city, tremendous dining and cutting edge technology. Breakfast at my hotel was a roomful of Engineers, Scientists and Financial Professionals from the US, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, France, Poland, Canada, Germany, Ukraine, Romania, Norway, Sweden and more.
There are major global companies such as: CH2M, Google (Warsaw) and Cisco all with a footprint in Krakow. I visited two IoT companies located in Krakow: Estimote and Silvair. These companies are working with numerous manufacturers located in the US.
Last month we concluded our Water 2.0 Digital Transformation for the Water Industry Conference on March 22nd in Washington DC. Our DC event dovetails with what is happening in the water industry in Europe. The presentations from our DC event specifically dealt with digital solutions to various water infrastructure problems.

My trip to Krakow opened my eyes to utilizing digital solutions being implemented in Europe and the US. As Disney said in 1965, “It’s a small world.”
