Bluewater attends Innovate4Water forum in Nairobi, Kenya, steps up Africa expansion
together with Bluewater partners 11th Hour Racing and Imagine H2O, will address urban drinking water shortages in a world where the UN predicts some 5.7 billion people will be living in urban areas running short of drinking water by 2050.
“The Innovate4Water Forum is a matchmaking forum for sustainable development across the African continent and we look forward to engaging with many of Africa’s leading water sector stakeholders,” said Mr. Jacobson. The two- day Nairobi Innovate4Water Forum brings together entrepreneurs, investors, large and small companies, non-governmental organizations, UN agencies, and incubators from 40 African countries who are contributing to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 6.
Bluewater, a world leading drinking water technologies innovator, will be joining over 350 water sector movers and shakers at the Innovate4Water Forum in the Kenyan capital Nairobi to discuss urban drinking water issues. The gathering provides an ideal opportunity for Bluewater to drive its newly-launched one-million-dollar urban drinking water challenge to entrepreneurs across Africa.
“The Imagine H20 urban drinking water scarcity challenge is geared to identify and deploy entrepreneurial solutions to tackle clean drinking water issues in mega-cities across the planet, including Africa,” said Anders Jacobson, President of Bluewater. He said the initiative, announced early April
Mr. Jacobson noted how the spectre of a collapse in urban water supply came close to becoming a reality in Cape Town earlier this year as the South African city faced extreme rationing and the closing of household taps. Cape Town is not alone. According to a 2014 study reported in Global Environmental Change journal, one in four cities of 200 studied around the world are already in a situation of ‘water stress’.
“The Imagine H2O Urban Drinking Water Scarcity Challenge is directed at unleashing the power of water entrepreneurship and innovation to find solutions to the urban drinking water scarcity nightmare scenario flagged by the United Nations,” said Bluewater President Anders Jacobson, also co-founder and CEO of Bluewater’s holding company, Blue.
