You need to know the rules to beat the rules ⬇️

Water innovation takes decades to be adopted: 35 Years for the average water tech!


For their book "The Dynamics of Water Innovation," Paul O'Callaghan and his team reviewed 488 water technologies to identify patterns, timelines (and ways to accelerate them), and some of the specificities of water entrepreneurship.

In this review, I share with you the key learnings, but also my feelings about the book. Spoiler: you should read it!
