EIT Food is leading a multi-annual, multidisciplinary program to address water scarcity in Southern Europe, focusing on sectors from agrifood to manufacturing. The program aims to identify innovative solutions to reduce water consumption, wastage, and pollution, ultimately supporting the transition to a water-saving economy. Key actions include:
• The Body of Knowledge: A collaborative group of experts building knowledge on water scarcity, policy, and financing tools.
• InnoWise Scale: Support for up to 40 scaleups tackling water scarcity through mentoring and training.
• Water Academies: Sector-specific seminars promoting the adoption of water-saving technologies and sharing best practices.
• Outreach Activities: Engaging citizens to become agents of change towards a water-saving economy.
The program is being implemented across multiple European countries.
Under the Project, WE&B successfully developed/delivered the following services:
• Delivered an on-line workshop (webinar) of approximate 4 hours duration, divided in 2 sessions, with the aim of
providing training on “international business development” to the 40 companies participating as Solution Providers in the Project
“Finding Innovative solutions for water scarcity in Southern Europe” coordinated by the EIT Food.
• In this Master Class on Internationalisation the attendees would learn how to align their products, process and services to increase their organisations’ involvement in international markets and to meet the needs of the end users. The Master Class took the format of
an online event spread over two mornings. The content of the first morning was theory and engagement with the subject matter. On the
second morning, an interaction in a practical session to initiate their journey to internationalisation. The themes of the Master Class were: Preparing your business for internationalization (business systemisation); Business strategies for Internationalisation; Networking with international multilateral organisations; Financing strategies to boost internationalization opportunities.
