    Innovation is crucial
    The award is intended for the most innovative product, service or solution in the industry. Research and development are crucial for the future of any business. However, the organisers of the award point out that innovation is not only crucial for the water industry, but for the entire world. “The importance of water technology for the complex problems of our world are eminent,” according to Cees Buisman (Wetsus), chairman of the Jury of the Award. “The availability of clean water for everyone in the world is a key element to the economic, social and physical wellbeing of mankind. The number of people challenged with water scarcity will increase enormously the coming years. Unlike oil, mankind has no alternative for water. Therefore, water is a subject that more than any other requires constant advances in the development of knowledge and technology. The challenge is to ensure that our ability to implement keeps pace with these advances. The Innovation Award encourages the companies participating in Aquatech Amsterdam to continue to be creative in this respect.”
