The Global Water Awards are among the most prestigious recognitions in the international water industry. They highlight the initiatives and innovations shaping the future of water, wastewater, technology, and desalination.

The 2026 Awards ceremony will take place on May 19 at La Quinta de Jarama, as part of the Global Water Summit.

This year, a project carried out in collaboration between Franciliane, SEDIF, and Samp has been nominated in the “AI Project of the Year” category.

In this video, Laurent Bourgouin, CEO & co-founder of Samp, joins Peter Reynolds for an executive interview on February 10.

He explores a persistent industry challenge: the gap between technical information and real site conditions and how Shared Reality helps you align what your teams see with what actually exists on site.

Shared Reality 2026.01 is here! This release reflects our continued focus on helping field and office teams work smarter with cleaner, more accurate data—directly within the context of real assets. From advanced equipment recognition to improved collaboration tools in 3D, every update is built to support safer, more efficient, and more informed decision-making in daily plant operations.

Samp is currently in the collaboration with Smart Asset Integrity Solutions (Smart AIS), helping industrial operators in the Netherlands improve maintenance preparation and asset integrity workflows. The article presents a shared approach focused on removing uncertainty before work begins, where poor preparation, fragmented information, and limited field context often drive cost, risk, and rework across terminal operations.

Samp, developer of the Shared Reality asset intelligence workspace, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with NavVis, a global leader in spatial intelligence and reality capture technology. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in providing industrial operators with an unparalleled solution for scaling and managing their digital twins.
