WATER INNOVATION EUROPE

14 June, 2017 / 7:00 am - 15 June, 2017 / 4:00 pm

Water is critical for our economy, food security, environment, and the well-being of our citizens. Water scarcity, pollution of our fresh water sources, and the effects of more frequent and intense floods and droughts can have severe economic impacts. To prevent these risks, investments in water infrastructure, in technologies for water-efficiency in industrial and agricultural sectors, and in the restoration and maintenance of well-functioning natural water systems are necessary.

Technological and non-technological innovation will be essential to address these water challenges and to keep the cost of the solutions affordable. The WssTP Water Vision “The value of water” has introduced 4 innovation concepts that show the way to a future-proof circular water-smart society that is effectively and efficiently governed. These innovation concepts are: Multiple Waters including reuse and recycling, Digital Water including IoT and Big Data, recovering the Value IN Water, and an underpinning Hybrid Grey and Green Infrastructure. Innovation in water and Digital Water offer also unexploited and solid market opportunities within and outside Europe, which we need to tap.

This year’s edition of Water Innovation Europe conference will showcase that pro-actively addressing these water challenges can create and secure jobs and strong investment and market opportunities within and outside Europe. European industries, service providers, research institutes, and consultancies will have a great chance to develop and grow in the global €650 Billion water market and contribute to Europe’s global lead in Sustainable Development.
