Join the 1st SWAN DaaS Workshop!
Within the water sector, Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) is an emerging, innovative business model applied to both water and wastewater operations with utilities outsourcing the operation and maintenance of different core services to outside private companies.

​The concept of “servitization” is well-proven in the manufacturing sector and to begin the Workshop, we will hear a keynote presentation from Tim Baines, the leading international authority on servitization. The Workshop will also feature a global panel with diverse DaaS case studies, as well as interactive roundtable sessions based on design thinking principles. Get ready for a fun and creative experience!
