Making invisible water visible!
At VivaTech 2026, French startup Hydriia presents its AI-driven SRW360 platform, tackling the global €50B Non-Revenue Water crisis. By transforming existing network data into operational intelligence, we empower utilities to detect hidden leaks and fraud. Discover how our asset-light solution saves critical water resources and public funds without costly new infrastructure.
- (1888PressRelease) June 15, 2026 - INVISIBLE WATER IS COSTING LOCAL AUTHORITIES DEARLY!
Hydriia, a French startup specializing in artificial intelligence applied to sustainable water management, is presenting its AI platform at VivaTech 2026 to reveal water losses, detect fraud, and accelerate savings. Faced with budget constraints, Hydriia helps local authorities recover the water... and the money they are losing without realizing it.
As local authorities must balance controlling public expenditure, preserving water resources, and modernizing aging networks, a portion of potential savings often remains invisible. Undetected leaks, illegal connections, metering anomalies, or discrepancies between produced and billed volumes: every year, these losses represent significant costs for territories and operators. At VivaTech 2026, Hydriia, a French startup incubated at Station F within the "Ville de Demain" (City of Tomorrow) program, will present its artificial intelligence platform dedicated to reducing Non-Revenue Water (NRW) and intelligently leveraging water network data.
A SIMPLE REALITY: THE INVISIBLE COSTS DEARLY
Every day, millions of liters of water disappear into networks that are often only partially visible or difficult to manage. Behind these invisible losses lie major economic, environmental, and territorial impacts: wasted resources, energy costs, pressure on public budgets, and the weakening of infrastructures. Non-Revenue Water losses account for nearly 50 billion euros per year worldwide. In a context of growing budgetary tension, local authorities and water stakeholders are seeking solutions capable of delivering rapid results without immediately committing to heavy infrastructure investments.
For Hydriia, the primary levers for improvement are found in the data that is already available.
Pascale Gimet-Joussier, Founder and CEO of Hydriia, explains:"Today, networks produce a considerable amount of information. Yet, a significant portion of losses remains invisible. Our ambition is to help operators transform this data into operational intelligence in order to act faster, better target their investments, and sustainably preserve the resource."
A SOLUTION: DETECTING FRAUD BEFORE INVESTING MILLIONS
Among the most immediate opportunities are:
• Fraud detection
• Identification of atypical consumption
• Highlighting metering anomalies
• Reduction of unbilled losses
• Improvement of network performance
Field experience has shown that the quickest gains often come from a better understanding of the network, even before initiating heavy civil works programs. Because the cheapest water is often the water we do not lose.
TEST YOUR WATER MATURITY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES
At VivaTech, Hydriia will offer visitors a practical experience: The Water Maturity Test.
Accessible at the booth or online, this tool allows municipalities, public utilities, and operators to:
Measure their maturity level in data exploitation
Identify their main vulnerabilities
Evaluate their potential for improvement
Discover opportunities related to NRW reduction and the fight against fraud
A simple, pragmatic, and immediately actionable approach.
WHY MEET HYDRIIA AT VIVATECH?
Through its platform, Hydriia illustrates a new generation of French innovations: artificial intelligence solutions applied to concrete challenges of public performance, territorial resilience, and resource preservation. The Hydriia teams will present:
• The Water Maturity Test
• The SRW360® platform
• Initial use cases related to fraud detection and Non-Revenue Water reduction
• Their vision of AI applied to water network performance
ABOUT HYDRIIA
Hydriia is a French startup specializing in artificial intelligence applied to sustainable water management. Incubated at Station F within the "Ville de Demain" program, it supports local authorities, public utilities, and operators in reducing Non-Revenue Water (NRW), detecting fraud, and intelligently managing water infrastructures. Its modular and interoperable SRW360® (Sustainable Revenue Water) platform transforms existing data into operational intelligence to improve network performance, preserve resources, and strengthen territorial resilience in the face of water stress and growing economic constraints.
Its core belief: Invisible water costs dearly. Hydriia reveals it.
