(Session 23) From Data to Decisions: Harnessing UK Digital Solutions for More Resilient Water Management
Co-organized with the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), this launchpad session will feature innovations from UK-based providers that harness data and digital tools for more resilient water management. With climate risks and urban pressures intensifying across Asia and the Pacific, smarter approaches are needed to forecast floods, identify leaks in water distribution networks, and monitor wastewater in real time. These solutions highlight how turning data into decisions can help safeguard communities, protect ecosystems, and build resilience in the region.
1. Fathom: Fathom delivers hazard maps and catastrophe models to help risk professionals manage water risk with precision.
2. HR Wallingford: HR Wallingford developed Sim-On Water, a real-time web application which efficiently identifies and targets leaks in water distribution networks.
3. Detectronic: Detectronic Ltd designs and manufactures advanced flow and level monitoring solutions, delivering reliably accurate data for the effective management of wastewater and stormwater networks.

Globally, around 80% of wastewater ends up untreated in rivers, lakes, and oceans, threatening ecosystems, human health, and food security. In Asia and the Pacific, rapid urban growth, industrial expansion, and tighter discharge standards are putting even greater strain on centralized, energy-intensive, and costly treatment systems. Discover how innovative technologies can meet this rising demand while recovering resources like water, energy, and nutrients.
1. Algaesys: Algaesys offers a carbon-negative algal wastewater treatment and resource recovery system that runs on solar power, absorbs CO2, and works at any scale
2. Elefo Biotech: Elefo Biotech developed Elefo CRT, an onsite wastewater treatment system that transforms toilet wastewater into clean, reusable water

Carbon accounting is becoming a critical capability for emissions-heavy sectors like water, urban development, and agriculture. Together, these industries are responsible for over 40% of global emissions, according to the IPCC. This eMarketplace session features two innovative technologies in the carbon accounting and management space: ERI’s intelligent system enabling rapid carbon inventories, and YC Holdings’ ASPNex, a patented digital platform that integrates GHG tracking, CBAM compliance, and carbon pricing.
Explore how these innovations are enabling faster, more strategic pathways to accelerate and optimize decarbonization efforts.
