Creating a resilient, environmentally sustainable, and economically accessible energy water ecosystem is possible if the global community can martial an effective collective response. The WE3 Summit will focus on the creation of this response. Educating, engaging, and empowering the provision of financial resources and a new technology framework is the ethos of the event. Along with speakers including government officials from California, well-known artists and entertainers and industry-leading tech giants will use the event to discuss the need for digital technology to modernize business models, reshape policies, and ignite a spirit of innovation needed to empower the water-energy transformation.

About WE3 Summit

For the last quarter of century environmental advocates have been asking the question "what kind of world do we want to leave for our children?" The question should be, "what kind of world do we want to live in ourselves?" Worldwide, 768 million people do not currently have access to a safe, reliable source of water and more than 1.3 billion do not have dependable electricity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, global energy consumption reached 596.7 quad BTU in 2017, a 13% increase from 2010 levels. Global water consumption reached 4,800 billion cubic meters per year in 2017, up by 10% over 2010 levels, according to the Global World Bank Water data. Providing better access to people must also be accomplished without further contributing to the growing crisis that is climate change. Through a series of conversations, presentations, and demonstrations the challenges facing the energy-water nexus will be highlighted in a revolutionary way. WE3 will be the focal point of a movement dedicating to using digital technology to modernize business models, reshape policies, enhance customer experience, and ignite a spirit of innovation. Join SEW and Zpryme in Palo Alto to experience a unique day dedicating to educating, engaging, and empowering the water-energy transformation. For more information, visit we3summit.com.
