BOSAQ

TLDR

BOSAQ is a Ghent-based water technology company providing off-grid and decentralized water purification systems, founded in 2017.

Overview

Founded in 2017 in Ghent by Jacob Bossaer and Pieter Derboven, BOSAQ develops off-grid water purification technology for remote and resource-constrained environments. The company's systems are designed to operate without connection to centralized infrastructure, making them applicable in developing markets, disaster response, and industrial off-grid settings.

CEO Jacob Bossaer has an unusual background that informs the company's mission: he worked as a water engineer in Antarctica, where the challenge of producing clean water in extreme, infrastructure-free conditions shaped his approach to decentralized purification.

BOSAQ sits within the broader Belgian water technology cluster, alongside companies like Shayp and Waterleau, which together form a notable concentration of water innovation in the country.
