What does Riverkin do?

Riverkin GmbH is a Swiss startup and ETH Zürich spinoff based in Zurich, founded by Jessica Droujko and her team. The company specializes in real-time freshwater monitoring using ultra-low power smart sensors and predictive software. Their technology helps industries and public authorities manage water resources, reduce pollution, and mitigate risks. Riverkin develops rugged, low-cost sensor systems that measure key water parameters such as flow, temperature, turbidity, and conductivity. These sensors are designed for dynamic monitoring in remote areas where traditional systems may not function effectively. The company's Water Data Ecosystem (WDE) integrates these sensors with an analytics platform, providing real-time data and AI insights for comprehensive water quality and quantity assessments. Riverkin's solutions target sectors like hydropower, car manufacturing, and mining, enhancing water management and ecosystem impact assessments. The company has successfully deployed over 26 sensors globally and has produced multiple peer-reviewed publications.
