Indo-Danish Water Smart Technology network

The Indo-Danish Water Technology Innovation Network was a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering research and innovation partnerships between Danish and Indian institutions. The primary objective was to establish a network that explored opportunities for advancing safe and secure water solutions. The partners involved, including research institutes, universities, and various stakeholders, were dedicated to enhancing cooperation in the water technology sector.

Goals:

1. Research and Innovation Exploration:
   • Established a network to explore research and innovation prospects between Danish and Indian entities.
   • Focused on thematic areas including groundwater and water supply, flooding, and central and decentral solutions for wastewater treatment.
2. Support for SMEs and Collaboration Enhancement:
   • Supported Danish small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in strengthening their collaborations with Indian businesses.
   • Expanded research and technology collaboration between Denmark and India.

Thematic Focus Areas: The project concentrated on the following three thematic areas:

1. Groundwater and Water Supply:
   • Investigated how technologies such as sensors, IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence could contribute to ensuring a sustainable and secure water supply.
2. Flooding:
   • Explored innovative solutions to address flooding challenges using cutting-edge hardware and software technologies.
3. Central and Decentral Solutions to Wastewater Treatment:
   • Examined research and innovation needs related to wastewater treatment, emphasizing central and decentralized solutions.

The partners sought to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges within each thematic area and identified ways in which advanced technologies could play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and security of water resources. Through this collaborative effort, the project aimed to drive positive change in the water sector while fostering mutually beneficial relationships between Danish and Indian stakeholders.
