…Pablo Cassorla, Founder and CEO of Remotes Waters, a Chilean start-up whose technology allows for the purification of water with solar energy for rural communities with limited or no access to this vital resource.

…Regarding the solutions being developed in these communities, the following stand out: water purification through Remote Waters technology, water from the air with the Watergen machine, and two of them with rainwater harvesting, an Isla Urbana program that won the Softys Water Challenge competition organized by Softys, Fundación Amulén and the UC Innovation Center.

…Remote Waters is a startup that its founder conceived in 2016 while working for the U.S. Department of Energy's laboratory. At that time, the agency, along with its counterpart in Israel, launched a national challenge to develop a low-cost and sustainable desalination plant. Pablo, along with a colleague, presented a solution that won them the competition.
