BlueTech Forum 2022's Theme was straightforward: Radical Collaboration for Regeneration.

For two packed days, the Vancouver convention center hosted the hottest and most insightful discussions on the fate of our Water World. Keynote speakers, start-up founders, end-users, industry experts, investors, and civil society gathered under the flag of "Radical Collaboration"
