with ?️ Christopher Gasson - Owner of Global Water Intelligence and authority on water finance and markets 
? Global Water Intelligence is the leading publisher and events organizer serving the international water industry.

What we covered: 

? How there are two international things in water: money and technology.  
? How taking off Global Water Intelligence involved focusing on those two ends of the market 
? How still, it is quite controversial to associate water and money (and why it is not a positive sign)
? How people associate a list of terrible mental models to that very water-finance link
? How water is capital intensive, and how much you'll have to invest to get $1 of revenue
☠️  How this water industry feature leads to innovation inhibition and major hurdles for water entrepreneurs
? What drives utilities in their infrastructure investment approach
? Why SDG 6 targets are stranded for exactly this same missing link between water and finance
? How we shall tell the World about water's profitability (and try to shine the right light on sanitation to make it look the same)
? How the ESG investment wave can be a blessing, assuming we create the opportunities for ESG money to finance the right projects 
? The challenges utilities have to overcome, so finance trust them and bets on their future development plans
?  How it is about time to connect the dots in the scattered water industry to power a triple win
? How a whole load of people talks about saving the world while skipping the thing which really matters: the money to save it 
? How climate change brings a third international compound in water 
⭕ How describing water consumers as stakeholders is wrong (and why)
? How the link between money and water can be proven by the absurd, whenever you deprive the latter of the former
? How GWI was a 162-subscriber struggling magazine 20 years ago, how it evolved into today's world reference, and what that changes and enables 
? Predicting the future and how it's impossible, being catastrophically wrong, needing the sound of two hands clapping to be successful, the SUEZ-Veolia drama, desalination... and much more!
? ... and of course, we concluded with the ????? ???? ????????? ?
