Following a highly competitive global search and more than 2,000 startup applications from around the world, these exceptional companies have been selected for their breakthrough technologies, commercial potential, and ability to address some of the most pressing challenges across agriculture, food, climate, and energy. As part of the selection process, 48 startups were invited to pitch virtually during our semi-final sessions before an expert panel of investors, corporate innovation leaders, venture capitalists, and industry experts.

We're in! Elateq named a Semi-Finalist in the @THRIVE Global Impact Challenge 2026 | Water & Waste Management category!

What an energizing month it’s been! 🚀 Through the #XylemPartnershipAccelerator, we’ve had the privilege of engaging in dynamic interactions, impactful events, and building momentum together. The energy, collaboration, and innovation we’ve experienced are fueling the path ahead—and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s next. At the beginning of April, Philipp Raichle, Joshua Griffis, and Benay AKYÖN, PhD visited us at our site in Northampton, MA. Over two days, Elateq and the #XylemInnovationLabs team dove deep into the tech and market opportunities to chart the next steps toward targeted demos and commercial pathways.  From April 13th to 15th, Elateq participated in the Xylem Accelerator Symposium in DC, organized by #XylemInnovationLabs. What a week - great discussions, connections, and planning sessions on the next steps as we move forward with #XylemPartnershipAccelerator. Fast forward to the beginning of May: beyond visiting an amazing trade show at IFAT Munich and learning more about where the industry is in Europe, we had the opportunity to continue conversations with #XylemInnovationLabs. On Tuesday, May 5th, we also connected with participants at the Showcase Event organized by #XylemInnovationLabs at Xylem’s booth.

Looking forward to connecting, engaging, and learning about what’s shaping up to be a great offering for the upcoming Boston Climate Week.  🌍 If you are responsible for delivering sustainability outcomes through decarbonization and water-reuse efficiency, you’ll want to hear how our technology substantially reduces energy usage and improves water recovery. 💲 If you oversee water treatment operations and want to significantly accelerate your investment payback period, let’s connect and talk about how Elateq’s electrochemical- based CORE treatment systems deliver value for your P&L and our planet. 📈 If you are an investor looking to fuel the scale-up of a differentiated water-tech startup with a proven product that’s attracting top-tier customer attention, you’ll want to hear our story. I’ll be attending events hosted by Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, The Engine, Greentown Labs, Next Rung Technology among others.   Please reach out if you’d like to connect. #Watertech #Cleantech #Boston Climate Week #Treatwaterright #HardTech #Elateq
