Meeting of Innovation

Faced with a constantly changing world, in which the water sector plays a key role, the Portuguese Association for the Distribution and Drainage of Water (APDA) organizes the Seminar "At the Meeting of Innovation", which takes place on February 12th, in the Library Municipal António Cartaxo da Fonseca, in Tomar. The event, which is attended by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Carlos Martins, at the Opening Session, intends to present the results of a survey submitted to the Water Service Managers, as well as to promote the debate on the different perspectives thematic.

The challenges facing society, policy makers, companies and other economic actors are increasingly numerous and complex, which, in many cases, forces them to "break" with the status quo, resulting in paradigm shifts. The impact is not yet noticeable in all its extension.

By having to keep up with and adapt to the ever-faster speed that change is taking place today, Water Services can only opt for innovation and consequent transformation.

It was in this sense that the Specialized Commission for Innovation of the APDA promoted a survey of the Water Service Managing Entities, whose results, which are extremely relevant in order to better understand the reality experienced by them, will be revealed in this event.

The initiatives promoted by the Managing Entities will also be divulged and the discussion on themes and visions intrinsic to the key theme of the event will be promoted: INNOVATION.
