TheWaveTalk Accelerates European Expansion with Strategic Meetings and OCO Global Partnership

AI-powered water quality sensor company TheWaveTalk is ramping up its efforts to enter the European market. During the week of May 12, the company will hold a series of strategic meetings with key players in the European water sector in collaboration with global consulting firm OCO Global.

These meetings follow strong industry interest in TheWaveTalk’s sensing technology showcased at major exhibitions including IFAT Munich 2024, ACE24, Aquatech 2025, and ISH 2025. Discussions will focus on practical applications in smart water metering, swimming pool and building water management, and drinking and wastewater treatment. The company aims to build strategic partnerships across co-development, technology licensing, and investment cooperation throughout Europe.

PipeTalk™: Smart Water Meter Integration on the Agenda

A major discussion point will be the European deployment of PipeTalk™, The.Wave.Talk’s flagship sensor platform. Based on a semiconductor chip and non-contact optical sensing technology, PipeTalk™ is a next-generation turbidity sensor that can be embedded directly inside pipelines for continuous water quality monitoring.

European smart water meter manufacturers are exploring how PipeTalk™ can be integrated into existing AMI/AMR systems to enhance anomaly detection and enable predictive, data-driven maintenance programs.

IQ-5N: Designed for Pools and Smart Building Water Systems

The IQ-5N inline turbidity sensor, engineered for swimming pools and reclaimed water systems in smart buildings, will also be a focal point of the meetings.

Equipped with auto-cleaning, self-calibration, and high-precision detection capabilities, IQ-5N offers water treatment and building automation firms a reliable way to optimize operational efficiency and maintain stable water quality.

WP Series: Real-Time Monitoring for Point-of-Use and Compact Systems

The ultra-compact WP-1000 and WP-4000 turbidity sensors are gaining attention in the POU purifier and small-scale water treatment segments. The meetings will explore how these modules can be deployed across decentralized systems in Europe.

With real-time particle detection and biofilm monitoring, the WP series supports both maintenance cost reduction and compliance with stringent hygiene regulations—critical for applications aligned with EU drinking water safety standards.

Technology Collaboration and Strategic Investment on the Table

Beyond technical integration, the visit includes planned discussions around joint development and strategic investment opportunities.

One German water equipment manufacturer is evaluating a customized R&D partnership for sensor integration, while a Dutch smart city platform provider is exploring data analytics collaboration with TheWaveTalk's sensing architecture.

With this visit, TheWaveTalk aims to scale the adoption of its semiconductor-based water quality sensors across diverse European applications, reinforcing its position as a global technology leader in the smart water industry.
