17th of October 2024
For the seventh WINCubator meeting, the chosen topic was sponge cities: cities that are climate-resilient, flood-resistant, and pleasant to live in. The meeting was organised online and took place the 17th of October with several innovators to present their stories.
In this occasion, 6 solutions were presented throughout the morning.
Blue Green Grey Systems for Livable & Resilient Streetscapes: Martin Vysoký, Edge
Forecast driven stormwater management – an example of smart delay to create an attractive water environment: Hanna Nordlander & John Hägg, VA Syd
Preventing environmental damage caused by urban runoff: pollution with retrofittable solution: Adhesh Shenoy, Guerrilla Tech
Autonomously managing CSO spills with CENTAUR®: Sonja Ostojin, EMS – Environmental Monitoring Solutions
BlueBloqs Circular Green water systems for climate resilient: Ruben Wentink, Field Factors
Nature based solutions in Santander: Nicolás Morales, Aqualia
All these innovations are examples of ways to create sponge cities and, ultimately, help contributing to a more circular water ecosystem.
