The European Innovation Partnership on Water (EIP Water) is an EU initiative aiming to facilitate the development and exchange of innovative solutions in the European water sector. At the same time, the EIP Water supports the creation of market opportunities for these innovations, both inside and outside of Europe.

The annual conference of the EIP Water is one of the largest events on water in Europe and brings together the most relevant public and private-sector professionals in the water sector. The 2016 edition was attended by some 700 delegates from private companies, investors, public authorities and research institutions, all in an excellent position to use and replicate the solutions developed by LIFE on water.

Update October 2017: Presentations are available here.
