Water Technology Listening Session 

Drops of water

Join us on Sept. 7 for the next Water Technology Listening Session, hosted by University of Minnesota MnDrive. The session will focus on bioremediation applications for urban soil and water, and feature presentations on specific treatment challenges and technologies for urban runoff, stormwater, gray water, watershed management, and low impact development and green spaces.

We are eager to feature what private industry is up to in these areas. This is a great opportunity to meet University of Minnesota researchers working in areas of interest to you.

Finland’s Water Sector 
And you thought we had a lot of lakes!  Finland has 187,888. The Finns have exceptionally clean water and are good at keeping it that way. The country also is home to a lot of cool companies and expertise. We’ve been preparing a way for you to connect with these cool companies via a Webex meeting platform and will have an announcement in the fall. If you have an existing Finland connection that we should highlight in this event or would like to get involved in planning, please contact steve.riedel@state.mn.us.
