Our Innovation Manager, Fabio Bacci holds the prestigious position of Chairperson at the British Water micro pollutant forum, driving discussions and initiatives to tackle emerging challenges in the industry.

Innovation Partnerships Strategy

Our approach to innovation management at Glanua involves four key stages:

Discovery, delineation, development, and deployment. This method follows a step-by-step process, starting with gathering intelligence to understand market needs. This information then guides our efforts in introducing the appropriate innovations our product offerings.

The opportunity to introduce novel solutions that help safeguarding the aquatic environment is an extraordinary experience. At Glanua we strive to achieve just that. As channel partners, we develop strong strategy alliances which assist technology providers in penetrating new markets while mitigating the anthropogenic impact on the environment. Leading the Innovation Management Programme at Glanua is truly a privilege.
