Huge FIDO news.

We have secured major investment to help us grow at scale and fulfil our mission to help create a world without water scarcity.

FIDO AI has received Series B funding led by CRH Ventures, the venture capital unit of CRH, a leading provider of building materials solutions. CRH joins FIDO’s existing investors, including SKion Water GmbH and Emerald Technology Ventures.

Our innovative FIDO AI technology pinpoints and sizes hidden non-revenue water challenges like leaks, enabling utilities to conserve vital resources and reduce operational costs.

FIDO CEO Victoria Edwards said: “I am thrilled to announce this new investment in FIDO which builds on our existing partnership with CRH through its Oldcastle Infrastructure business in the United States. This investment not only secures our company’s future, but it will also allow us to grow at scale in markets we could not easily have reached and to really fulfil our mission of creating a world without water scarcity.

“The strong strategic relationship with CRH is fundamentally the right one for FIDO. It places us in the right market ecosystem to position FIDO AI as the world’s go-to smart solution for water resilience and water stewardship across infrastructure build, maintenance, management, and sustainability reporting.”

Our catalytic community has come together in Querétaro, Mexico!

We all know water scarcity is a huge issue around the world, and in Mexico Querétaro is one of six states in the country facing droughts.

It's crucial that we save as much water as possible, so FIDO, along with Microsoft, our delivery partners Generagua and water utility CEA, has implemented an innovative AI-powered solution to detect leaks across 350km of their water network.

Adam from the FIDO team took a trip to meet with our partners to share and make sure they got all the training they needed with our FIDO AI.

Our FIDO AI can pinpoint leaks and prioritize them by size, even in the noisiest environments. This allows for targeted repairs and ensures the biggest impact on water conservation efforts.

The team got fantastic results fast.

Huge thanks to Adam and the wider teams for sharing knowledge, experience, and being so committed to creating a world without water scarcity.

We're proud to be a part of this hugely impactful project and contribute to a more sustainable water future for Mexico. Massive thanks to our catalytic community Microsoft, Generagua and CEA for their collaboration on this critical initiative.

Looking after our water sources has never been so important.

Overallocated, overstressed, and serving over 40 million people, the Colorado River Basin needs action.

We are part of a brand new catalytic community like you've never seen before.

A planned new collaboration aiming to unite multinationals, innovative tech companies, and water utilities has been announced in the US.

This is Water, United.

’Water United’ plans to unite the public and private sectors to accelerate water action across the Colorado River Basin.

Microsoft, PepsiCo, FIDO Tech, Oldcastle Infrastructure (a CRH Company), Water Foundry and Atlantean Media have worked to help develop the ‘Water, United’ initiative.

The first project is planned to take place with the Las Vegas Valley Water District (LVVWD), a not-for-profit water utility that provides water to more than 1.7 million people.

‘Water, United’ follows an existing collaboration between Microsoft and FIDO Tech that is reducing water network losses through the power of actionable artificial intelligence (AI). Launched in London, United Kingdom, the project expanded to Phoenix, Arizona and then Querétaro, Mexico.

Victoria Edwards, Co-Founder & CEO of FIDO Tech, said: “I am delighted that Microsoft saw the potential for us to create a bigger catalytic community, uniting stakeholders across a key river basin. I’m looking forward to working with all key stakeholders where we can make real impact with pace and scale. FIDO Tech has already been working with key utilities around the world using AI to reduce non-revenue water and increase water security and resilience within communities. We’re looking forward to working with the other utilities in the Colorado River Basin.”
