World Smart City Awards
The World Smart City Awards seek to recognize pioneering projects, ideas and strategies that promote sustainable urban development around the globe.
Current is Chicago’s water innovation hub.
Our goal is to develop water management policies and test new technologies that grow the blue economy, drive innovation, and solve pressing water challenges. Founded in Chicago in 2016, we bring together corporations, other nonprofits and governments to develop solutions that would be too risky or even impossible for any one group to undertake alone. The need for our work is greater than ever because water is no longer just an issue; it’s a crisis.
