Innovation Guelph and the Ontario Environment Industry Association will be co-hosting a Water Technology Summit on September 22 at the Delta along with the University of Guelph and NSERC. In its first six months of operation, Innovation Guelph has seen over 100 clients and completed 9 projects that have attracted $1,450,000 in direct investment. Six of the 9 projects relate to water technologies, including treatment, conservation, and rainwater harvesting. Walkerton Clean Water Centre now has an office within Innovation Guelph, using Guelph as their remote campus for training and lining up research projects connecting to business. The Province of Ontario is focusing on water technolgy development and creation of jobs through the Water Opportunities and Water Conservation Act, and Guelph is well placed to take a lead in clean technology development.
