HOPE Hydration develops and distributes HydroStations™, tech-enabled water refill stations that deliver free, chilled, filtered drinking water and display digital ads on 55" LED screens. Each HydroStation uses IoT capabilities to report real-time metrics—refills, plastic and CO2 saved—and to support proactive maintenance. The company partners with Pentair Water Solutions for Everpure filtration technology and places stations in airports, stadiums, city centers, and at major events and brands. Since 2023 HOPE has provided over 2 million refills and aims to reach 10 million refills by the end of the year. The business model includes OOH advertising that enables installations at no cost to venues. New funding will be deployed to expand into additional markets, scale manufacturing, accelerate product innovation, and strengthen strategic partnerships.
