SENTRY chosen out of 300 global water technology applicants validating the Company’s unique role providing the only real-time wastewater quality monitoring data for more effective, affordable wastewater treatment & less environmental discharge violations
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CA (Jan 21, 2025) – At this week’s World Economic Forum (WEF) annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland, real-time wastewater quality monitoring pioneer, SENTRY Water Monitoring and Control (SENTRYTM), was named a Top 10 Innovator out of almost 300 global water startup applicants. The award is part of the “Tackling Water Pollution Challenge” offered by the WEF’s Innovation Ecosystem, Uplink, and their partner, HCL Group, which aims to find innovative solutions to conserve and restore freshwater ecosystems. | ![]() |
“The effective treatment of wastewater around the world is critical to protecting public health and the environment. The challenge is treatment facilities have always lacked reliable, real-time wastewater quality data to see what’s coming into or leaving their plants,” explained SENTRY Founder and CEO, Patrick Kiely. “With our robust, biological sensors that can be placed in plant locations never possible before, operators now have the real-time visibility they need to optimize treatment processes and minimize discharge violations. With our reliable minute-by-minute snapshots as a starting point, we help our clients make better treatment decisions and form the basis for automated, optimized treatment infrastructure that saves money, energy, and the environment.”

SENTRY is one of two Canadian innovators to make the Top Ten List and the only winner specifically tackling the approximate 380 trillion litres of wastewater generated globally each year according to a 2023 Science Direct published report. Since its inception, SENTRY’s sensor platform has been deployed in over 400 unique locations around the world supporting more than 650 treatment operators better understand their biological treatment facilities, saving their facilities on average over $75,000 a year.

About SENTRY Water Monitoring & Control
SENTRY has developed the first and only real-time biological activity and water quality monitoring platform that provides minute-by-minute snapshots of the quality and treatability of wastewater at locations never possible before. From variable, untreated wastewater influent at a treatment plant’s headworks to biomass health changes in anaerobic digesters (AD), the company’s robust biofilm-based sensors provide early-on, always-on insights into biological processes that exist wherever water is used, stored, or treated. This means SENTRY’s municipal, industrial, and standalone AD customers around the world now have the data they need – when they need it - to optimize treatment and improve outcomes.
