Smart water management has great potential both in terms of costs and the environment. Smart Innovation Norway's initiative Smart water has provided many examples of this in recent years.


- It is important to have a common meeting place

Project manager Anja Wingstedt is now planning a new round of webinars, and she wants to carry them out in close collaboration with Nordic municipalities, businesses and interest organisations, such as Norsk Vann and the Water Association.

- Smart Innovation Norway continues its role as a knowledge center in this subject area, she emphasizes and points out the importance of having a common meeting place for skills development.

- Our webinars must have such a function. Participants who do not interact at other times of the year can meet under our auspices and share knowledge, make contact and tell success stories, says Wingstedt.

The webinars are also attended by representatives from the supplier and adviser side. They present new solutions, but can also map the needs in the market.

Trying to tailor the content

In previous years, the annual digital gatherings have mostly been about smart water meters. In 2022, Wingstedt wants to take the investment a level further and focus on other smart solutions within the entire water and waste water industry.

- We therefore want input from previous participants about themes, projects and fields of expertise for smart solutions that they would like to hear more about during the upcoming webinars, says the project manager.

A questionnaire has been drawn up which Wingstedt hopes the actors will take the time to answer so that she can get an overview of what the needs and wishes of the municipalities, business and interest organizations are.

- I hope many take the opportunity to be involved and set the agenda, says Anja Wingstedt.

The webinars in 2022 are planned for June and December.
