Open Hydro

🔋We feel so energised after the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit 🔋 Following an inspiring reception with British Water, we immersed ourselves in the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit—a global gathering of water utilities, regulators, technology leaders, and startups tackling the industry's most pressing challenges. A highlight for us was seeing, our CEO, Cristina Diez Santos take the stage to pitch Open Hydro's vision and showcase how digital innovation can impact and tackle the water and climate sectors. Let’s work together to make our water systems greener and cleaner! 🌍✨ 👏 It was a great event! Thank you to Rethink Events for such an amazing line of speakers and for creating a dynamic collaboration and knowledge exchange space. We're already looking forward to the next edition in 2026! 🗓️ #WorldWaterTech #WaterTech #Sustainability #WaterStartup

We had a busy week in the water sector in London! 💧🌍 This week started with an inspiring reception hosted by British Water, the leading association driving leadership, support, and best practices for the UK water sector. Held at the prestigious Institute of Directors (IoD), the event featured a keynote from Francesca O'Hanlon, PhD at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, who shared valuable insights into their water stewardship efforts, particularly in water replenishment in the UK. Our co-founders, Cristina and Maria, had a fantastic evening reconnecting with familiar faces and forging new connections to advance water sector decarbonisation. Exciting conversations and collaborations are ahead! 🚀 #WaterTech #NetZero #Sustainability #UKWaterSector #Waterstewardship
