We care about water – and the life that thrives on it. Pollution is on the rise, yet efforts to restore our blue reserves are slow. To solve these problems, one must measure them – but live water data remains sparse and expensive. We want to make water quality visible and to create the Water Data Platform for the Planet.
Join a diverse, skilled, and passionate team from Berlin, who is eager to eradicate water pollution.
Who We Are
Watergenics is an innovative company based in Berlin that combines high-tech real-time sensors and AI in a water analytics platform. We are a data company that measures water-quality parameters to create actionable predictive analytics for the natural resource extraction industry and for environmental monitoring. Currently, our customers are mainly in the mining and desalination industries. Since its birth 4 years ago in the hallways of the European Commission in Brussels, the company has grown to a team of 10, and it is further expanding.
