- Quest Water Global, Inc. is a water technology company headquartered in North Vancouver, Canada, founded in 2008. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes innovative clean water solutions addressing water scarcity in underserved regions globally. Its main products include the AQUAtap™ Community Water Purification and Distribution System, a self-contained, decentralized, solar-powered system that uses ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes to convert contaminated ground, surface, brackish, and seawater into potable water, with a capacity of up to 100,000 liters daily, serving up to 5,000 people per unit. Additionally, Quest Water Global develops the WEPS™ WaterMaker, an atmospheric water extraction and purification system generating potable water from ambient humidity. The company also offers solar-powered sewage and wastewater treatment technologies.
Recent major developments include a strategic 10-year public-private partnership with the National Office for Rural Hydraulics (ONHR) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), aiming to install 300 AQUAtap Community Water Centers over five years to provide affordable clean water to 1.5 to 1.8 million people in rural and peri-urban areas of the DRC. The project uses a Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer model, with Quest contributing $30 million, entitling it to 60% of project revenue. This initiative supports significant socioeconomic impact and growth acceleration in the region. In 2024 and 2025, Quest expanded its advisory board and appointed a Chief Operating Officer to bolster growth and operational excellence. The company also continues to develop its sustainable technology solutions to serve communities lacking infrastructure, focusing on scalable and modular systems powered by renewable energy.
Quest Water Global operates primarily in developing countries facing water scarcity challenges and targets governments, NGOs, and private sector partners for deployment of its technologies. It pursues its mission using an inclusive, market-driven Build-Own-Operate business model to ensure sustainable impact and financial viability. The company maintains a subsidiary, Quest Water Solutions Inc., and collaborates with strategic partners to expand its regional operations and product reach. Its recent partnerships and leadership enhancements reflect a strategic push to accelerate growth and extend water access through innovative technology and government collaborations in Africa and other regions.
