About us

We are Aliaxis Next, a team of business builders who identify, engage, and accelerate water tech companies and entrepreneurs through our four business units: Sustainable Water Management, Access to Water, Resilient Water Infrastructure, and Water for Food. Sounds awesome? Reach out! Our world faces a major challenge in terms of water scarcity. If we continue the current trajectory, demand for freshwater will exceed supply by 40% in 2030. The stakes are high, and the consequences are clear. For example: • 3.9 billion people will live in water stressed areas by 2030, • 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed water in their homes, • 35% of the water distributed in networks is lost through leakages, • 70% of the water withdrawn from the planet is used to produce food. To make real progress on the world’s water challenges, we need to foster and scale up entrepreneurial solutions that address them. That is why Aliaxis Group, the global leader in water and energy movement, established Aliaxis Next, an innovation fund that functions as a business-builder. Our entrepreneurial, technological, and strategic expertise, paired with our global operations, enables our portfolio companies to unlock faster growth. We make that possible through three engagement vehicles: • Through M&A, we acquire companies that are complementary to the Aliaxis Group core business and are looking to change ownership and/or management. • Through Venturing, we acquire a significant minority share in late-stage start-ups and early-stage scale-ups where we can amplify management and help speed up realisation of the business plans. • Through our Venture Builder, we fund entrepreneurs with an idea or a technology and help them build high-potential businesses. We position ourselves as a strategic investor with a significant ownership stake in our portfolio businesses, investing in companies that we can offer more than just a capital injection: companies we can offer truly smart money.
