Aquademica Foundation uses an open-source approach, in order to create, socialize and globally disseminate solutions for building local circular economies. Aqua Circular On-line Conference 2021 promoted the innovative solutions for all the interested stakeholders in Romania and other European countries. The main purpose of the conference was to organize the framework for matching demand and supply in the circular water sector, aiming to improve the competitiveness of local stakeholders within the regional water market.

 

The conference was an innovative mixture of circular water project presentations and debates, facilitating the creation of strong partnerships among regional water operators, decision makers and technicians from regional utilities, local industry and agriculture, local start-ups, regional universities and R&D centers, technology providers, local and central administrations.
