Online Water Marketplace Launches

July 1, 2015
The online platform connects members of the water industry to solve water issues

Watercluster.com, an online marketplace that features water conservation and recycling solutions, was launched recently, offering a deal platform to connect technology, talent and investors to solve urgent water problems compounded by record drought on the West Coast.

"Southern California is a key, dynamic market for innovation and the perfect place to introduce a new paradigm for matching new water conservation technology, talent and capital from around the world," said founder Thomas Schumann, who was inspired to launch the online venture via the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Technology Innovation Cluster Program.

Schumann encourages "disruptive collaboration" through the site, which allows members to work together and match needs with solutions in a real-time environment. The platform proactively supports water industry leaders, tech companies, investors, universities, corporates, utilities, governments, non-governmental organizations and service providers to connect, communicate, collaborate and to conduct business in times that require decisive action and progressiveness.

The first member to join watercluster.com is Global Water Technologies, a company working to commercialize new solutions that improve efficiency in water and wastewater infrastructure.

"This industry needs a dynamic marketplace where resources can quickly be matched and deployed to address the growing need for new water solutions," says Erik Hromadka, CEO of Global Water Technologies. "We look forward to being part of this exciting new venture."

Schumann's decision to launch watercluster.com in Santa Monica, Calif.'s leading city for sustainability and water conservation, allows it to leverage the world's largest Metropolitan Water District to drive positive change and innovation at ground zero of California's and America's water challenges.
