Innovation Hub

Accelerating Water Sector Innovation through Engineering, Testing and Collaboration

HORIBA’s Innovation Hub is designed to help water sector innovators fast-track the development and deployment of new technologies. From early-stage concepts to field-ready solutions, we provide a trusted environment for scaling high-impact ideas – supported by expert guidance, robust testing and global commercial pathways.

Our Innovation Hub isn’t just a space – it’s a gateway to one of Europe’s most advanced engineering and testing environments.

Located at MIRA Technology Park, it connects innovators to:

• Dozens of specialist laboratories across environmental, electronic, mechanical and systems domains

• Secure, real-world proving grounds used globally for autonomous, connected and resilient system testing

• On-site engineering teams with deep expertise in measurement, compliance, functional safety and digital platforms

This allows water innovators to not only validate technology performance, but also prove resilience, interoperability, and readiness for market.

Our facilities also provide unique opportunities for environmental simulation – including road run-off testing, surface water quality monitoring, and assessment of pollutant dispersion from vehicles. By leveraging our controlled environments and applied engineering expertise, we help customers understand and mitigate real-world environmental impacts.

Whether you’re a start-up developing breakthrough sensors, a Tier 1 deploying monitoring networks, or a utility trialling predictive analytics, HORIBA’s Innovation Hub offers the capability, credibility and collaboration needed to
