Solutions for the Pressing Water Challenges in Agriculture

The Agri Water Innovation Discovery 2023 was a milestone for the Agro Innovation Lab (AIL) and a crucial step in addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time: the sustainable use of water resources in agriculture. The goal of this initiative was to identify innovative approaches and technologies that can help use water more efficiently, ensure quality, and adapt agriculture to climatic changes.

A Global Search for Innovations

The response to the Agri Water Innovation Discovery was overwhelming: more than 75 startups from 28 countries applied to showcase their innovative solutions for the most pressing challenges in water management. From these applications, the ten best startups were selected to present their approaches in categories such as data-driven water management, intelligent irrigation systems, water quality, soil management, and regional water forecasting and risk management.

The Summit: A Gathering of Experts

The grand finale on November 21 at the RWA headquarters in Korneuburg brought together science, industry, politics, and startups to gain a holistic perspective on the challenges and solutions in water management. In addition to the impressive pitches from the finalists, the event offered space for engaging discussions and the exchange of expert knowledge.
