Entrepreneurship meets water problems in Stockholm
August 18th, 2009

Frank O’Dea is in Stockholm this week speaking to participants at the World Water Week Conference. Invited to the event by Royal Roads University, he brings an entrepreneur’s point of view to help encourage innovative approaches to the existing and future water issues that attendees from around the world are dealing with. 

The World Water Week in Stockholm is the annual meeting place for the planet’s most urgent water-related issues. Organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), it brings together experts, practitioners, decision makers and leaders from around the globe to exchange ideas, foster new thinking and develop solutions. Our theme for 2009 is Responding to Global Changes: Accessing Water for the Common Good.
