SWAN Systems has been named a winner of the UpLink Water Resilience Challenge, an initiative run in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and HCL Group.

The challenge recognises organisations developing practical, scalable approaches to improving water resilience across agriculture, energy, and technology. Being selected as a winner places SWAN Systems alongside a global cohort working on real-world solutions to one of the most pressing challenges facing water-dependent industries.

A focus on practical water resilience

At SWAN Systems, our work centres on helping organisations make better irrigation and water-management decisions using trusted data and decision support. This recognition reflects the growing importance of approaches that go beyond theory, supporting day-to-day decisions that improve water use efficiency, manage nutrients responsibly, and support long-term water stewardship.

The UpLink Water Resilience Challenge brings together innovators who are addressing water risk from multiple angles, from monitoring and analytics through to infrastructure and treatment technologies. The strength of the cohort highlights the need for collaboration across disciplines and regions to build resilient water systems.

Building momentum through collaboration

Participation in the UpLink community creates opportunities to collaborate with peers, partners, and stakeholders who are working toward shared water resilience goals. For SWAN Systems, this recognition supports our ongoing efforts to work with growers, councils, and water managers to improve outcomes on the ground, where water decisions matter most.
