Systems Thinking & Entrepreneurship

WATERLINE Accelerator Programme

Over the past month, participants from 8 HEIs have been sharpening their entrepreneurial skills as part of a unique training initiative. The goal? To foster an entrepreneurial mindset, boost business pitching abilities, and create innovative digital solutions to water-related challenges across Europe. 🌍💧

From self-study modules and workshops to engaging group work, the journey has been both challenging and rewarding. The teams presented their solutions on 14th and 15th November, tackling real-world problems like water flow control, predictive maintenance of membranes, and optimizing irrigation systems. The creativity and ingenuity displayed by the participants have been truly impressive, with each team offering commercially viable solutions to address pressing water issues during last week presentations. 💡

A big shout-out to Ivan Briffa and David Pace from MCAST for creating outstanding materials and for guiding the teams through this journey with their expert tutelage. And a special thanks to all the T3.3 partner coordinators and Maria Ragia for her stellar coordination—your dedication behind the scenes ensures everything runs smoothly. 🙌

With the 24-hour hackathon coming up this week, we’re eagerly anticipating even more groundbreaking ideas and solutions. Stay tuned as we continue to innovate for a more sustainable future! 🌱
