What does real innovation look like in the water sector, and what’s holding it back?


In this special 40th episode of Our Water Connection, we celebrate a unique milestone with a cross-podcast connection! Our host, Jess Bohorquez, was recently invited to be the guest on Episode 40 of Executive Exchange, an Isle Utilities podcast and to mark the occasion, we have invited their host, Dr. Piers Clark, to join us!

Piers is a global leader in water innovation. As the founder and former Chairman of Isle Utilities, he has worked with over 350 utilities around the world to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies. From Thames Water to private equity and the creation of the pioneering Technology Approval Group (TAG), Piers brings unmatched insight into what it takes to drive real change in the water sector.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What innovation means in the water sector
  • Why it's so hard to scale new technologies
  • The role of regulation, risk, and leadership in enabling innovation
  • What sets successful innovators apart
  • And Piers' message to the next generation of water professionals
