📌Water Europe #Webinar on the Socio-economic Study on the Value of the EU Investing in #Water📌
Join us on December 16th, 4:00–5:30 PM (CET) for the presentation by Ilona Kirhenstein WSP of our latest insights on the socio-economic value of water and its role in building a Water-Smart Economy in Europe, highlighting its impact on strategic sectors such as #hydrogen, #semiconductors, #batteries, #agriculture, and #data management.
Aligned with the European Commission’s #WaterResilience Strategy, this webinar will emphasise the need to integrate water as a strategic asset to drive Europe's green and digital transitions, while enhancing our competitiveness in the Clean Industrial Deal.
A panel discussion moderated by Tania Pentcheva - Director of Government and Public Affairs at Xylem - will engage with leading experts from different economic sectors:
➡️ David Martin, Executive Director at Air Products
➡️ Lucas Buthion, Head of Government Affairs at SOITEC
➡️ Amanda Björksell, Chair of the working party of Environment & Climate at COPA COGECA
💡It's an opportunity to engage with leading experts, industry representatives, and policymakers to explore actionable insights on securing water’s value for key industries!

🤝Partnerships are at the heart of #innovation in the water sector.
👁🗨In today’s #WKE2024 sessions, we gained valuable insights from the upcoming #HorizonEurope Strategic Plan 2025-2027, the practical advice on how to build successful project proposals, and the opportunities offered under the Water KIC EIT - European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
🔍 Bertrand Vallet from the European Commission guided us through the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027, highlighting what are the main priorities and what is important to keep in mind for the future programme. Insightful presentations by key representatives of leading companies and remarkable EU projects were also showcased in the event's programme.
👥As participants dive into productive B2B meetings, we extend our gratitude to everyone who made today a success.

👏Such a vibrant and well-attended #WaterProjectsEurope session we had this morning ahead of the official kick-off of #WaterKnowledgeEurope2024. One week after the release of our #PFAS paper, we had the pleasure of organising a dedicated session focused exclusively on PFAS.
🔎 Today's session explored the challenge of #PFAS in the water-soil nexus and the coherence of the legislation on the #PFAS monitoring, prevention and remediation! With presentations and concrete solutions highlighted by the participating projects SCENARIOS Project EU, PROMISCES and Life-Source project, it was made clear that the cost of inaction for addressing the #PFAS challenge will be much higher than making actual steps.
❗ ''Only in Europe, there are up to 20.000 suspected #PFAs contamination sites'' stressed the SCENARIOS Project EU, leading to significant consequences, including psychological stress, economic burdens, and social inequalities.

📶 Data runs on #water, but to what extent?
⚡A single megawatt of data centre energy can consume 26 million litres of water annually. As the backbone of our digital lives, data centres face a critical challenge: balancing growing demand with environmental responsibility.
💧Water consumption in the data centre sector is projected to grow 52% by 2030, reaching 94 million m3!
💰Switching entirely from water-intensive cooling - currently accounting for 20% of total cooling - to innovative adiabatic cooling could save €260 million per year in the EU.
📊 Frameworks like the #Energy Efficiency Directive and eco-design regulations to reduce the water and energy footprint of data centers.
🔵The future is clear: The flow of data depends on the flow of water. It’s crucial to keep both running! Explore our materials dedicated to data centres:
