From AQUACORP, we applied to the call developed by CDTI-E.P.E. in collaboration with the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge for the development of solutions in the field of monitoring the quality of surface waters. The objective is to acquire innovative solutions that do not currently exist in the market and can address the public needs identified by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

CDTI-E.P.E. is a state-owned public entity under the Ministry of Science and Innovation that promotes innovation and technological development within Spanish companies. It serves as the channel for requests for support and assistance for R&D+i projects of Spanish companies, both domestically and internationally.

In our startup, we firmly believe that conserving water protects the environment and contributes to the planet’s sustainability. That’s why we’ve applied for the candidacy with a strong belief that we can bring innovative and disruptive solutions that can genuinely address current public needs in terms of monitoring water quality.

Currently, there are only two methods to determine the physicochemical and biological parameters of water: taking a water sample and analyzing it in a lab or using specific sensors to individually determine each parameter. Both are intrusive techniques that require direct contact with the water.

We’ve taken a different approach by offering a Deep Tech solution that enables the remote and continuous monitoring of the primary water quality parameters efficiently and effectively based on images. It’s an innovative tool for remote, real-time, and non-intrusive monitoring of water status and its physicochemical parameters.

We want to express our gratitude for the opportunity to participate in this call and demonstrate what we do best: caring for the environment and particularly for water quality.
