EU fosters water innovation and the Action Group of National Water Partnerships fosters innovation among SME’s
To support European SME’s in the water sector, National Water Partnerships across Europe have joined forces in the European Innovation Partnership on Water (EIP-W). This official EIP Action Group “Water Innovation Support for SMEs (DIS-SMEs)” organized the Business Forum Session ‘Leveraging the network of National Water Partnerships’ on September 25th 2014, during the IWA World Congress & Exhibition in Lisbon, Portugal. In the SME roundtable, moderated by Aleid Diepeveen from the Netherlands Water Partnership, SMEs stressed the fact that there was a clear need for innovation support and brokerage, and that National Water Partnerships were well positioned and had an important role, given their deep involvement with SMEs and their networks.
