The Water Innovation Townhall brings together three companies moving through the Water Technology Adoption (WATA) Model at strikingly different velocities: Evove, Cerafiltec and Vortech Water Solutions. In this conversation, their CEOs unpack how lighthouse projects evolve into market pull, why strategic partners accelerate trust, what real-world friction looks like, and how design-for-adoption choices shorten the path to scale. Dr. Paul O’Callaghan, Prof. Cees Buisman and Dr. Reinhard Hübner then connect these stories to the dynamics explored in The Dynamics of Water Innovation, reflecting on velocity, reference data, and the market conditions that shape innovation decisions today.
