Six months ago, seven water tech startups entered the mHUB & Current 2025 Sustainable Water Tech Accelerator with bold ideas and a shared mission. On April 9, they took the stage at the 2026 Water Tech Demo Day to demonstrate how far they’ve come.

From contamination removal and resource recovery to water and energy efficiency, the progress these teams made is a testament to what’s possible when deep technology meets the right support and resources. These seven companies are now stepping into their next chapter, with real momentum behind them and even bigger milestones ahead.

A sincere thank you to Current for their partnership in bringing this work to life, anchored by the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Great Lakes ReNEW Engine.

🎥 Watch the recap and read the full blog to dive deeper into each team and the solutions they’re bringing to market.
