If you weren’t at Downstream Ottawa 2024, here’s what you missed:
Supported by the Ontario Sewer & Watermain Construction Association, Downstream was held as part of the 2nd annual Ingenium Innovation Challenge.
Attendees were invited to connect with and learn from industry experts specializing in different areas of the water sector–wastewater, storm water, conservation, blue economy, communications, and cleantech. Through a series of six short roundtable discussions, challenge participants made valuable industry connections, asked questions, and learned about clean water and sanitation before going off to work on their pitches.
Held in Ingenium’s Digital Innovation Lab, the three-day challenge brought together young adults early in their careers aged 18-35 to build a digital prototype designed to enable young Canadians aged 9-12 (grades 4-7) to better understand how their actions affect wastewater systems, and help them find ways to contribute to sustainable water and sanitation habitats.
