We are proud to announce that Datatecnics has been selected for CRH Ventures’ Accelerator for Water Solutions.

Running for the first time, by the global construction materials giant, CRH, the programme has been setup to accelerate the most promising solutions that address key challenges in water management. Challenge areas for this year’s inaugural entry included Storm Water, Wastewater, and Potable Water.

The competitive application process led to over 100 applications from around the world, with 30 making the shortlist and 12 invited to pitch their solution.

Following a successful pitch, Datatecnics was selected as one of six finalists, marking the end of a six-month selection process.

As part of the programme, Datatecnics will get access to the valuable network of CRH’s 200+ brands, along with opportunities to pilot and scale solutions commercially with CRH portfolio companies.  

“We’ve tweaked, refined, augmented and all things in between, to build the most comprehensive predictive water networks management platform for utilities over the years, so getting selected for this inaugural water technology accelerator is not only a recognition of the team's efforts but also a fantastic opportunity to accelerate our growth and impact.”
“We saw the raw ambition of what CRH have set out to do with this accelerator, and in the water sector more broadly, and felt like we had to be a part of this journey.”
