Xylem Innovation Labs

Is a water-secure world possible, when 2.2 billion people are without safe water and water challenges are intensifying?? ? Communities and industries are turning innovation action into impact – and making real progress.? ? For example: Water reuse isn't just a sustainability initiative; it's a business and public health imperative. Every major economic sector depends on reliable water access. From Singapore, where recycled water now meets 40% of demand, to Valencia, where digital technology has cut water losses by 30%, real success stories are proving what’s possible. ? By combining water reuse, digital infrastructure, and advanced treatment, we can build systems that are more resilient, more sustainable, and ready for the future. ?

“Only 3% of climate investment goes to water solutions, even though it represents 80% of the climate impact.” -Sivan Zamir ??? Great to see my colleague and mentor, Sivan Zamir, speaking about the importance of water challenges and how we need to all be investing in our future. It needs to be discussed more as a pressing problem not only as a business risk and but also fundamental to human life. #gcvi2025 Global Corporate Venturing Xylem Xylem Innovation Labs

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator Showcase ?? that featured developing breakthrough innovations in greenhouse gas removal (GHG-R) being incubated at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability’s Accelerator. ?? The event showcased unique early-stage technologies with high potential of solving challenges including measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) and scaling up of GHG removal from the atmosphere, soil and water. ???? It was very inspiring to see young scientists in action to solve one of the most critical environmental challenge our world faces today. ? Sharing some photos from the event and some of projects I found most interesting! Xylem Innovation Labs Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability #sustainability #innovationinaction #GHGremoval

??Startup & Multinational Collaboration: Can it Help Scale Innovations? XIL's Director of Partnerships Accelerator, Oliver Puckering was at Aquatech Amsterdam this week sharing how Xylem and Xylem Innovation Labs is working WITH startups to help de-risk technology adoption ?? for our customers. ?? Not everyone agrees (and that's ok)! There are so many differences between startups and multinationals - of course it won't be love ?? at first sight. There can be a learning curve when "dating" in partnership, especially considering differing priorities, resources, speed and agility, and THE BIG ONE willingness to take on risk. But those differences can also provide opportunities for mutual benefits and fresh perspectives??! ??Communication is key??. Startups shouldn't be afraid to express their needs in the partnership! It's essential to not only listen to each other but also to understand what your customers need to ensure the partnership is the right fit from cultural, business, and future perspectives. Huge kudos to fellow panelists ?? Tom Williams (Enebio Ltd), Eliza Roberts (Microsoft), Karina Pe?a (FieldFactors), and Will Sarni for providing such a great conversation and amazing insights! #xylem #letssolvewater #AquaTech2025 #AquaTechInnovationForum #waterinnovation #corporateinnovation #corporateventurecapital #partnerships #openinnovation #Accelerator #startups
