A new Ecosystem Resource Directory is being developed to support water technology companies working to scale breakthrough innovations and proven solutions across the global water sector.

The initiative aims to create a comprehensive, practical inventory of resources available to companies navigating the complex journey from innovation to market scale.

By consolidating access to capital, expertise, partnerships, and services, the directory is designed to help water entrepreneurs accelerate growth and reduce friction in the commercialization process.

At its core, the Ecosystem Resource Directory is intended to serve as a central hub where founders, executives, and business builders can efficiently identify and connect with the people and organizations critical to their success. From early-stage innovators to companies preparing for global deployment, access to the right resources at the right time is often a determining factor in whether a solution scales.

designed to help water entrepreneurs accelerate growth and reduce friction in the commercialization process.

The effort reflects the growing recognition that addressing global water challenges requires collaboration across disciplines and sectors. Engineers, scientists, investors, policymakers, industrial partners, and communicators all play essential roles in advancing solutions for water scarcity, quality, resilience, and infrastructure modernization.

By aggregating verified contact information and sector-specific resources, the directory seeks to foster communication and coordination among stakeholders who are often working in parallel but remain difficult to find or engage efficiently.

In addition to serving innovators, the directory also benefits service providers, investors, and institutions seeking to engage with high-growth water companies. Integrated communication tools are intended to replace the fragmented and ad-hoc methods currently used to identify partners, advisors, and funding sources.

Key Resource Categories Included

The Ecosystem Resource Directory organizes information across both public and private sector participants, including:

• Corporate venture capital and financial investors
• Venture capital firms and institutional investors
• High-net-worth individuals and family offices
• Non-dilutive funding sources, including government programs and foundations
• Media, communications, and storytelling platforms
• Major industrial companies serving as strategic investors or partners
• Vendors, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, and sector-focused institutions

As the directory grows, it is expected to become an indispensable tool for water technology companies seeking to scale efficiently, connect with aligned partners, and contribute meaningfully to solving one of the world’s most complex and urgent challenges. Learn more at www.davosconsortium.org
