TKI Matchmaking Event: Shedding Light on Water – Smart Innovations for the Water Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we make the water sector both smarter and more sustainable? During this event, discover how innovative technologies contribute to real-time monitoring, more efficient process management, and new forms of collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why this event?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The water sector faces complex challenges, from the early detection of pollution to the optimisation of process control. New technologies enable faster, smarter, and more future-proof ways of working. But how do you translate these innovations from the lab to practical applications?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this event, Water Alliance<\/strong>, Netherlands Water Partnership<\/strong>, BOM<\/strong>, and PhotonicsNL<\/strong> bring together companies, research institutes, and end users. Through inspiring real-world examples, interactive roundtable sessions, and ample networking opportunities, we will explore how collaboration can drive innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Inspiring presentations from research institutes and companies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Practical examples of innovative measurement and analysis techniques.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Interactive roundtables on water quality, collaboration and funding, and smart combinations of data and sensors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Plenty of opportunities to connect with new partners and develop ideas further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
