Adasa participates in the INNO4H2O project: Innovation Ecosystem in the water sector
Water is one of the basic and essential resources for life and also a strategic component of the economies of the different countries of the planet. Moreover, it is a sector that, within the framework of the ecological transition, has enormous economic potential.
But Spain also faces a country challenge associated with water scarcity, which is often described as one of the most pressing or first-order threats to the water cycle. For this reason, this INNO4H2O Innovation Ecosystem is aimed at the entire water management value chain, with the objective of bringing together all the different agents in the sector and orienting them towards a more sustainable management through the implementation of 'Technologies and tools that enable the increase of water resources'.
The project INNO4H2O: Innovation Ecosystem of the WATER sector, is coordinated by the technological center ITC, and counts with the participation of other technological centers such as ITCL and ITG, also in this project participate the companies Adasa, FACSA, EMIVASA, SCOPE and TINAMICA. This project has been financed by CDTI through the call for grants for Innovation Ecosystems, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
Thus, INNO4H2O aims to create a collaborative network that facilitates the technology transfer of the solutions obtained by its members for sustainable water management. To this end, any entity in the sector interested in the latest technologies will be able to adopt and implement advanced services based on the technologies developed by the consortium members through 3 priority axes: Circular Economy, Smart Water and Water-Energy.
These services, focused on the application of the research/developed technologies in the previous Cervera networks of excellence (CELIA and HYSGRID) complemented with the knowledge of all the members and implemented through this Ecosystem, will serve as a means of commercial penetration towards companies in the sector that are likely to improve their processes.
After the end of the implementation period of the Innovation Ecosystem, the technological tools developed will be commercialized through the participating companies and technology centers, achieving a market implementation of the high added value services developed in INNO4H2O.
