QS Monitor Limited, the award-winning Masdar Tech Park company focused on food and water safety, has partnered with Elgressy Engineering Services, Israel?s pioneer in electrochemical water disinfection and treatment, to deliver safer chemical-free water supply to the UAE
?We see ecological water treatment as a responsibility and obligation and we are proud to have innovated a safe solution which utilises advanced chemical and electrical engineering techniques as a viable and much safer alternative to chemical dosing,? said founder and owner of Elgressy, Gaby Elgressy. ?It is a great honor to partner with QS Monitor to bring our technologies to the United Arab Emirates where local water is a scarce resource and awareness is high of environmental and safety practices.?
"As an award-winning food and water safety platform, QS Monitor is focused on decreasing waste in food and water throughout the supply chain, while achieving higher output and controlling water and soil contamination. Elgressy?s innovative technology for water treatment and water saving is chemical-free whilst eliminating contamination ? exactly what the UAE market needs," commented Burak Karapinar, founder and managing director of QS Monitor.
The UAE Government established the Ministry of Food and Water Security in 2017, as a part of its efforts to implement the national strategy for protecting scarce resources of food and water for the country. QS Monitor won the 2020 FoodTech Challenge Award, a global competition of innovative solutions across the food and water value chain, awarded by the UAE Food and Water Security Office and Tamkeen. The UAE government continues to strive to become a completely self-sufficient country for food and water resources and to improve awareness to use resources sustainably.
QS Monitor received funding, training and mentorship from The Catalyst, the region?s first clean technology startup accelerator, which is supported by Masdar and BP. Based in Masdar City Free Zone, The Catalyst targets eco-friendly business ideas that are one to three years away from commercialisation, and accelerates them through a holistic programme, covering the services and support needed to run a business.
