Ensuring water security in increasingly complex and climate-stressed water systems requires a new operational paradigm: digital intelligence, the ability to sense, model, predict and act across entire networks with accuracy and speed. As one of Europe’s largest water operators, Acea has developed a set of integrated solutions that combine AI, advanced modelling and smart operational platforms to improve efficiency, reduce losses and strengthen resilience.

The workshop will explore the concept of local content and how it is calculated, as well as the mechanisms for prioritizing local content at project, product, and investment levels. The workshop will also highlight key local content initiatives and success stories in the water, environment, and food sectors.
