Description
Summary:A technology roadmap is fundamental in corporate and industrial strategic planning, outlining goals and technological alternatives for products and processes. This tool forecasts technological evolution, identifying opportunities for competitive advantage and sustainability. Companies use it to integrate medium- and long-term strategies, linking product development and technological innovation with research and development. In water treatment, roadmaps are vital for designing and optimizing water management systems, driven by global and regional examples that align water treatment strategies with sustainability objectives. The application of the roadmap at a non-biodegradable wastewater treatment company improved Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal, validating the effectiveness of the process and allowing the technology to be scaled up while maintaining high-efficiency rates. This study highlights the importance of technology roadmaps in strategic decision-making and fostering innovation and sustainability in critical sectors such as water treatment.
