BlueTech Web Briefing

BlueTech’s water industry web briefings deliver focused, 40-minute expert sessions on the technologies, markets and investment signals shaping the future of water. While many webinars focus on surface-level updates, our web briefings draw on proprietary research and real-time market intelligence. As a result, utilities, suppliers and investors gain clarity around the decisions that matter most.

In addition, our water industry web briefings explore priority themes such as PFAS treatment and concentration, industrial water reuse, desalination, digital water technologies and emerging infrastructure trends. At the same time, each session connects technical developments to market realities, regulatory shifts and capital allocation pressures.

Ultimately, these briefings are designed not just to inform, but to help stakeholders interpret early signals before they become mainstream.

Blueprint: Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are a class of crystalline porous materials formed by linking metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands into highly ordered three-dimensional (3D) networks.

MOFs in Water
Nobel spotlight, commercial reality, and the path to scal

Dr. Bilal Asif
Research Analyst

Rhys Owen
Research Director

Divya Inna

Following the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, metal-organic frameworks are attracting renewed attention for their potential in selective separations, atmospheric water harvesting, and carbon capture. But can these highly engineered materials overcome the same scale-up, validation, and integration barriers that challenged earlier advanced material platforms?

In this BlueTech web briefing, Bilal Asif explores where MOFs are gaining real commercial traction, what markets are accelerating fastest, and what water sector leaders should realistically expect over the next decade.
