The Israeli Trade and Economic Office last week brought to the UK a delegation of Israeli water companies to present to the UK their latest technologies within the sector.
On 8 March, the ‘Technology Splash’ run by global law firm Pinsent Masons introduced UK investors, utilities and engineering firms to Israeli water-tech companies. The 80 attendees heard presentations from Israeli firms such as AGM, Diffusaire, Miltel, PML and Tal-Ya. The technologies on display were focused on wastewater treatment, water analysis and irrigation.
Since its beginning in 1948, Israel has moved to establish itself as a world leader in water innovation and technology in order to meet demanding needs in spite of water shortages.
The delegation also attended closed sessions to hear about the UK water industry from the UK’s leading experts, including recent changes and the latest White Paper. The visit concluded with a roundtable discussion at Bloomberg New Energy Finance on water issues and opportunities in the UK, as well as global trends within the industry.
Oded Distel, head of Israel NewTech, said:
“Israel’s water industry is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful in the world. We’re pleased to see the investment community in the UK now focusing more and more on the business opportunities presented by innovative Israeli start-ups in the water sphere.”
