Are you ready to be recognized as a leader in Europe’s water transition?
As we head toward our flagship event, Water Innovation Europe (WIE) 2026 in Dublin, Water Europe is proud to launch a new, expanded edition of the Water-Smart Awards. This year, we are “raising the bar” with updated categories and a brand-new award specifically dedicated to Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs).
This webinar is designed to provide potential applicants with an inside look at the 2026 edition. Whether you represent a city, a research institution, a utility, or an innovative startup, this session will give you the tools you need to stand out.
What you will learn:
– The 2026 Vision: How the awards align with the WIE2026 theme of “Raising the bar for the Water Framework Directive.”
– New Categories Breakdown: A detailed overview of the six award categories, including the new WOLL of the Year distinction.
– Success Strategies: Practical tips on how to demonstrate “measurable progress” and align your application with the Water-Smart Society Vision.
– The Roadmap to Dublin: Details on the evaluation process, deadlines, and the Gala Dinner on 13 October.
Join us to ensure your innovation gets the recognition it deserves on the grand stage in Dublin!
