Imagine H₂O, the startup accelerator that aims to shape the future of water

Imagine H₂O is a San Francisco-based global startup accelerator that aims to solve the planet’s global water challenges by mentoring a new crop of entrepreneurs focusing on water issues. To do so, Imagine H₂O hosts a yearly competition to nurture a class of promising water entrepreneurs: every year, more than 500 entrepreneurs apply to their programs.

Imagine H₂O hosts, operates and markets three programs:

• Imagine H₂O Accelerator, the flagship program that provides entrepreneurs with the resources to scale their solutions;
• Imagine H₂O Accelerator Asia, Southeast Asia's first accelerator dedicated exclusively to water tech startups, created with the support of SUEZ;
• Urban Water Challenge, a global deployment competition for solutions advancing water resilience in cities.

The collaboration between the Group and Imagine H₂O started in 2011, with a first commitment from SUEZ North America. Then it grew up with SUEZ Group and WTS, so that in 2016 SUEZ joined the Judging Panel for the Imagine H₂O Accelerator. In 2017 SUEZ became a Core Sustaining Sponsor and finally in 2019 Founding Partner of Imagine H₂O Asia.
