Water Services and Technologies had the honor of hosting Monica McDonough Fortino, Cleantech Trade Commissioner for Brazil at Global Affairs Canada, at our Belo Horizonte office.

Clean technologies play a vital role in driving sustainable practices, reducing environmental impacts, and fostering innovation across strategic sectors such as energy, water management, and mining. These principles align perfectly with our core pillars: water efficiency, technological innovation, sustainability, and responsible water management.

Water is a critical resource in the clean energy agenda—whether in hydropower generation, industrial cooling processes, or ecosystem preservation. Ensuring its availability and quality is a global challenge—and a top priority for us.

“Water Services and Technologies has a historic connection with Canada. Some of our founders worked, owned businesses, or studied in the country, and today we operate a subsidiary in Kitchener, Ontario. Collaboration with trade commissioners and the support of consulates and embassies have been essential in opening doors with companies in both Canada and Brazil.”
— Nilson Guiguer, CEO of Water Services and Technologies

This visit reinforces the importance of international partnerships in advancing clean energy and building a more sustainable economy. Water Services and Technologies remains committed to leading solutions that integrate technology, environmental stewardship, innovation, and economic development.
