ESA BASS Water Day to be held in May

REGISTER NOW

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 Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) Water Day event, we will tackle these water related challenges from different angles and discuss how technology and space can be a part of the solution. 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.
