Water is a defining factor for Colorado’s economy—shaping operational decisions, growth strategies, and long-term investment. On November 5, WestWater Research and the Bailey Program for Family Enterprise at the Daniels College of Business will co-host an evening forum bringing together leaders from agriculture, real estate, and family enterprise to explore water as both a vital input and an investment class.
This interactive program will look at how family offices and closely held businesses are deploying private capital to solve water challenges while generating meaningful financial and societal returns. Expect candid insights on valuation, risk, supply strategies, and the practical realities of investing in—and operating with—scarce water resources.
