#PrimoDeepDives 💧 Investing in the #FutureofWater, a Critical Opportunity 💧 Water is not just a resource; it's life. Yet, our world is on the brink of a #watercrisis. In 2021, climate tech investment in Europe hit an impressive $53 billion. Yet, shockingly, less than 1%—just $455 million—was directed towards #watertech (TNW). 📊 The statistics are sobering: 📌 By 2040, global #waterdemand is projected to exceed #supply by 40% (United Nations). 📌 2.2 billion people currently lack access to safely managed drinking water services (World Health Organization). It’s clear that water #conservation and #infrastructure modernization can no longer be sidelined. Entrepreneurs and #investors have to step up and recognize the urgent need for innovative solutions to protect this vital resource. Governments are moving in the right direction, with #stricterregulations and incentives, but solving this problem requires innovative technologies and infrastructure. With a huge estimated #fundinggap for water infrastructure in terms of investment required ranging from $6.7 trillion by 2030 to $22.6 trillion by 2050 (Financial Times) investors play a vital role in driving change. 💡 Here some of the most promising Emerging Opportunities in Water Tech that are re-shaping the future of #watersustainability: #Digitalwater solutions to monitor and manage usage #Precisionirrigation to reduce agricultural water waste #Advancedwatertreatmentandrecycling to reclaim vital resources #Desalination for turning seawater into drinking water #Atmosphericwater generation to harvest moisture from the air The time to act is now. Backing companies that tackle water loss and inefficiency with cutting-edge hardware and software isn’t just #smartinvesting —it’s an investment in the future of our planet 🌟 To know more, stay tuned for the final release of the first issue of #PrimoInsights: "Green Horizon - Unveiling Emerging Trends in Climate Tech" 🌏 And check out the work of #PrimoClimate here: https://lnkd.in/dWdyjRu6

12 anni dopo lo Startup Act, grazie a questo Governo abbiamo lo Scaleup Act italiano. Adesso non ci sono più scuse: le regole sono finalmente allineate alle practices internazionali, le risorse finanziarie diventano quelle che l'Italia merita, dal 2025 tocca ai #founder. The Italians are coming.

👉 Prossimo evento il 21 Novembre alle 18h30 SDA Bocconi "#Sostenibilità e #impatto #Idrico: dalla gestione del rischio a opportunità” Negli ultimi decenni, l'acqua sta diventando sempre più una risorsa preziosa da dover gestire in modo attento e consapevole da parte di tutti, aziende, istituzioni e individui. Si assiste a un costante aumento della domanda di #acqua, dovuto principalmente all’incremento della #popolazione e ai nuovi #stiledivita. D’altra parte, i #cambiamenticlimatici stanno rendendo alcuni territori più vulnerabili a fenomeni di #siccità o improvvise #inondazioni. Approfondiremo il tema con un panel esclusivo di esperti di settore. Analizzeremo il panorama e le dinamiche attuali e delle soluzioni innovative per affrontare al meglio questa sfida globale. Saranno con noi: Stefano Pogutz, Referente Faculty Topic Sustainability; Head of Sustainability Vertical, Bocconi 4 Innovation - Università Bocconi Alessandro de Carli, Research Fellow in Water Economics and Policy - Università Bocconi Andrea Delogu, MBA, Founder Blue Gold® Marzia Chiesa, Sustainability Manager e Public Affairs & Strategy Director - SODAI S.p.A.

Si è conclusa SMAU Milano 2024! Per Iride Acque è stata la prima partecipazione ad una delle principali fiere dedicate all'Innovazione e siamo molto soddisfatti di questa esperienza. È stato un piacere accogliere tutti coloro che sono passati al nostro stand per scoprire le nostre soluzioni innovative nel trattamento e riutilizzo delle acque industriali e per vedere in azione il nostro sistema di telecontrollo e telegestione tramite HMI (Human-Machine Interface), installato sui nostri impianti. Oltre ad essere stata un’esperienza molto proficua, questa partecipazione si è rivelata un’interessante occasione di scambio con altre realtà innovative che condividono il nostro impegno verso l’innovazione e un uso più responsabile delle risorse. Un grande grazie a SMAU per l'accoglienza e l'organizzazione, ad Innexta e Pietro Alù per questa preziosa opportunità, a Blue Gold® e Andrea Delogu, MBA per essere stati al nostro fianco, e, naturalmente, un ringraziamento speciale va al nostro team (Monica Casadei, Matteo Folloni, Francesco Capoti, Stefano Scappazzoni, Paola Mezzacapo) per la dedizione e l’entusiasmo con cui ha rappresentato l’azienda durante l’evento. #innovazione #fiera #Smau #Milano #acqua
