The National Science Foundation has selected a multi-university team from Stanford, UC-Berkeley, Colorado School of Mines and New Mexico State to implement an Engineering Research Center with the goal of re-inventing America’s aging and inadequate water infrastructure. NSF will invest $18.5 million over five years with additional funds to follow.

MOSES parted the waters. Strauss aims merely to separate the waters from their yucky impurities. On May 18th in Shanghai Israel’s second-largest food and drinks firm will launch a high-tech purifier that not only filters water but also heats it to exactly the right temperature for making tea. Strauss has forged a joint venture with China’s Haier Group, the world’s biggest maker of white goods, to distribute it.
At last year’s Cleantech Forum, the French environmental giant Veolia announced the Innovation Accelerator program to tap into cleantech innovations for the company’s environmental businesses around the world. At a time when many start-ups faced scaleup issues, the program itself seemed innovative.
Attending the Forum again this year, I spoke briefly with two of the program’s executive leaders, Philippe Martin, Senior Vice-President Research & Innovation and Michel Morvan, VP Strategic Intelligence and Innovation, to find out how VIA has been working out.
