Innovative Companies
The Artemis Project sponsors the Top 50 Water Companies Competition to identify the leading game-changing technologies that provide venture grade investment opportunities in the water sector.
Rigorously Vetted
We composed our 12-judge panel of leading experts in the industry. They rigorously vetted each company based on a strict set of criteria, including technologies, potential applications and business strategies.
The APEX Award
This year we asked our judges to identify companies within the Top 50 that best reflect the promise of technology for achieving sustainability.
What’s Next?
Bringing Forth the Promise of Water Tech
The Water Leadership Summit on 17 and 18 May capped off a great year for the Artemis Top 50. Three-hundred of the leading water equipment and services companies, investors and industry experts gathered in Toronto to examine the potential for innovation in the water industry. Throughout the conference, the Artemis Top 50 were honored as the most promising water tech companies set to lead a new era in water management. The Top 50 set the tone for the conference. The discussions in the conference panels as well as between participants focused upon how the future of water might be very different than it’s past.
Since 2009 the Artemis Top 50 listing has brought together a group of the most visionary experts from water equipment companies, water engineering firms and water users and applies a process developed over a period of years to evaluate companies that apply from all over the world.
The Artemis Top 50 has emerged as one of the mechanisms for the water industry to drive changes in the way that we manage water worldwide. Applying new methods to manage water is fraught with risk, but we must make dramatic changes and we must make them now.
As we look forward to planning new activities for the 2012 Artemis Top 50, we are turning toward the industry leaders who see the opportunity that innovation offers the water industry in meeting the dire challenges before it.
- How does the Top 50 best serve to bring forth the promise of innovation to have an impact in water over the short term?
- What should be the organizational structure and support provided for the 2012 Artemis Top 50?
- Which organizations should sponsor, as advisors, as judges, as recommenders as partners?
We look forward to hearing your comments. Watch this space for updates.
