About the Innovation Showcase
Over the past 8 years, the WEFTEC Innovation Showcase has featured a wide range of technologies with a total of 154 companies represented. Today, more than 90% are still in business.
The success and competitiveness of the Innovation Showcase companies not only reflects the quality of the companies featured, but also highlights the technological direction that the water sector is heading toward. While innovation was once an intimidating obstacle in the ever-conservative water sector, companies are now looking at ways to foster innovation both within their own operations as well as the technologies they implement.
