Ontario water companies stream into this year’s WEFTEC Connect

Ontario has long been a world forerunner in water technology. We are pioneers: two of the world’s most widely used technologies – UV disinfection and membrane filtration – were developed here. We are also a leader in water R&D with 100 technology incubators, 42 Canadian Research Chairs and several large companies - including SUEZ Water Technologies and Solutions and Veolia Water - that are investing in the over $14 billion of research conducted in Ontario each year. Ontario companies are also becoming increasingly renowned for their technology solutions that are improving efficiencies in water treatment and enabling smart monitoring of water quality.
