Webinar series: Smart Water

Welcome to the continuation of the Smart Water webinar series with knowledge sharing about smart water, opportunities and how to get started.

Smart water products and digital water services can optimize the water industry, improve existing solutions and contribute to creating good solutions for citizens and the environment. At the same time, smart water solutions can help us implement the UN's sustainable development goals.

With the help of smart water meters, for example, leaks can be detected more quickly and the municipality can offer water pricing according to consumption, which will hopefully help to raise awareness of what is required for access to water.

The webinar series will prepare the ground for those of you who want to get started or further develop the work that has already been done, and is aimed at municipalities and suppliers.
