The future of water innovation is no longer a pipe dream.
New York City's water and wastewater system is one of the largest in the world, spanning 7,500 miles of sewer lines and 14 treatment plants. Statewide, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation estimates that bringing this aging infrastructure up to date will cost at least $36.2 billion over the next 20 years.This scale of need represents a significant opportunity for water technology and startup innovation. BATWorks offers a home to incubate and scale water technology while building the partnerships and talent pipeline this sector needs.
