Watergate named one of UK’s top sustainability startups by TechRound
We’re thrilled to share that Watergate has been recognised as one of the UK’s most impactful sustainability startups in the TechRound Sustainability60 2025.
The Sustainability60 celebrates startups and scaleups driving meaningful environmental and social change. From renewable energy to clean tech and circular economy solutions, the list showcases businesses at the forefront of sustainability innovation – and we’re proud to be among them.
At Watergate, we’re tackling the water crisis head-on. Our mission is simple: stop leaks, reduce waste, and empower people to use water wisely. Through our smart water technology – including our Sonic leak detection and prevention device, real-time consumer app, and analytics dashboard for businesses – we’re helping households and organisations save money and safeguard the planet.
Why it matters
Every day, the UK loses around 3 billion litres of water to leaks. Water scarcity is no longer a distant threat – it’s happening here, and now. Our work is about making water visible, valued, and better managed.
We’re grateful to TechRound for recognising our progress, and even more excited about what’s ahead as we scale our impact across the UK and beyond.
