VENUE: ESTEC, the Netherlands
Water is one of our most important natural resources, ensuring human survival and healthy ecosystems and is crucial for agriculture, food production, energy, biodiversity conservation and many other industrial sectors. Unfortunately, this vital resource is currently threatened by water scarcity, water pollution, climate change, water conflict, and more.
During the BASS water event, we will tackle these water related challenges from different angles and discuss how technology and space can be part of the solutions. It will provide an opportunity for networking, for BASS supported projects to showcase their solutions and for new collaborations to emerge with the common aim of tackling water-related challenges.
BASS will also present upcoming opportunities for European industries who want to develop solutions for the transformation of the water sector.
Companies providing services tackling water-related challenges will receive the opportunity to present their solution during the poster session. Registration to the poster session is mandatory with a deadline on March 15th. Applicants will need to wait for the confirmation that their poster have been accepted. In case of high demand, priority will be given to ESA BASS supported companies.
