Presentation Title:

New Pipeline Technologies – Accelerating Commercialization

Abstract:

Innovation is constantly happening in the water and energy distribution space, but adoption and acceptance of new technologies can be a challenge. This presentation will explore different ways companies can accelerate adoption of new technologies and gain acceptance across a wide range of applications. Case studies will be presented with lessons learned from on-going work with an innovative pipeline and pipeline leak detection technology. Discussions will be focused on market transformation activities and key metrics that new products must achieve to be considered commercially viable.
