Accelerating the Next Generation of Water Intelligence

The 2026 BREW cohort brings together 11 companies from eight countries developing solutions spanning predictive pipe modeling, rainwater monitoring, PFAS treatment, wastewater resource recovery, and AI-enabled digital twins. Collectively, these companies represent a growing movement toward data-driven water management that is transforming how utilities, industries, and communities understand and manage water systems.

For decades, water infrastructure has largely operated as a collection of disconnected assets—pipes, treatment facilities, waterways, sensors, and inspection programs managed independently from one another. While each component generates valuable information, the lack of integration often limits operational visibility and slows decision-making.

Today, that paradigm is changing.

Across the industry, utilities and industrial operators are increasingly seeking ways to connect infrastructure data with environmental signals and operational intelligence. Advances in sensing, cloud computing, machine learning, and digital twins are making it possible to move beyond periodic inspections and reactive maintenance toward a more predictive model of infrastructure management.

This shift is particularly important as utilities confront aging infrastructure, population growth, climate variability, and increasing regulatory expectations. Understanding not only the condition of individual assets but also the interactions between networks, watersheds, weather patterns, and environmental conditions is becoming essential for resilient water management.

It is within this context that Fluid Analytics has been selected to participate in the 2026 BREW 2.0 program.

Through its AquaGrid platform, Fluid Analytics is building an intelligence layer for water systems - from rivers and watersheds to sewer networks, stormwater infrastructure, treatment facilities, and environmental monitoring programs. By integrating inspection data, sensor measurements, weather information, water quality observations, and operational records, AquaGrid helps utilities and industrial operators identify emerging risks, prioritize interventions, and make more informed decisions across entire catchments.

The BREW 2.0 program provides participating companies with access to targeted commercialization support, industry mentorship, investor engagement, and connections throughout one of the world’s most established water technology ecosystems. Since its launch, the program has supported dozens of water technology companies working to bring innovative solutions to market.

For Fluid Analytics, participation in BREW represents an opportunity to collaborate with utilities, industrial operators, and water sector leaders who share a common objective: building more resilient, intelligent, and sustainable water systems.

As water challenges continue to evolve, the future will increasingly belong to organizations capable of transforming fragmented infrastructure data into actionable intelligence.

The technologies represented in the 2026 BREW cohort point toward that future - a future where predictive analytics, integrated monitoring, and system-wide visibility enable smarter decisions, stronger resilience, and improved outcomes for both communities and the environment.

Fluid Analytics is honored to be part of that journey.
