Interview L. Vamvakeridou and J. van den Broeke - ICT4Water: Creating a unified digital water playing field

“Netherlands: One of the biggest, European-wide digital collaborations is helping water companies to use a common standard when it comes to their digital transformation journeys.
Starting in 2012, the ICT4Water cluster began life as a hub for EU-funded research and innovation projects on ICT applied to water management. As the European Commission (EC) increased its focus on the digitalization of the water sector, the cluster has grown to include over 60 projects. It has since been addressing technology understanding and adoption gaps, bringing together multiple projects and stakeholders to exchange experiences.
A Unified Playing Field. ICT4Water intends to help provide consistent, unified standards to promote the transition of ICT technologies in the water sector, from pilot scale to wide market uptake. The aim is to create a European, border-less “digital single market” for water services.”
