Ovivo and AquaAction announce their renewed and strengthened partnership after 5 years of successful collaboration. This partnership is based on a shared belief in the positive impact technology and innovation can have for freshwater, and of the potential of a new generation of young innovators and entrepreneurs to build a better future where communities and eco-systems can thrive. In supporting AquaAction as one of its preferred partners, Ovivo is ensuring the development of tangible solutions to restoring freshwater health across North America.
“As a global water treatment solutions provider, our vision is to be the preferred partner for those who value water as much as we do, like AquaAction does. We are very proud to support and accelerate their activities and to enable our employees to be engaged in their very innovative program, especially the AquaHacking Challenge™, which highlights the entrepreneurial spirit that drives us and our core values of innovation, teamwork and expertise to create sustainable water solutions for a better environmental future for our communities”, said Marc Barbeau, President and CEO of Ovivo.
Francois de Gaspé Beaubien, Chair of the AquaAction board of directors is equally proud: “Ovivo has been a deeply committed and engaged partner since 2017 and we are so grateful to renew and grow the partnership with them. We have bold aspirations of what can be achieved through our programming and working alongside organizations like Ovivo, with which we share a fundamental commitment to restoring freshwater health, which motivates us and strengthens our resolve. The complex nature of freshwater issues requires collaboration across sectors. We are very proud to have Ovivo as our exclusive water sector preferred partner.”
As two Canadian organizations sharing common values, Ovivo and AquaAction will collaborate to inspire young innovators, support budding water tech entrepreneurs and activate their solutions to ensure they are turned into measurable results. The organizations also share a commitment to meaningful impact and engagement with Indigenous communities, in the spirit of helping to achieve Reconciliation through freshwater. Water is the essence of life itself and they are compelled to work towards securing a sustainable water future for all.
