The WaterEdge community was established in early 2021 under a joint initiative of the Israeli Ministry of Economy, the Innovation Authority, and the Water Authority, and operates as part of the Kinneret Academic College.
WaterEdge.IL aims is to coordinate and advance interconnections between the various players and stakeholders in the Israeli water ecosystem (academics, startups, companies, utilities, NGO's, governmental agencies, etc.), and to actively promote innovation and its adoption for the benefit of the local water sector and towards the global market.
Israel has been facing many water challenges for decades and thus created a unique water ecosystem and industry that developed unique methods and technologies. Together with the Israeli "Startup Nation Spirit" it has plenty of know-how and experience to share with the global water community that faces similar challenges. At the same time, the Israeli community has a lot to learn from the experience of others. WaterEdge.IL will work towards connecting the dots and sharing such know-how both internally in Israel and internationally.
