Webinar 1: From Call for Tenders to PCP Implementation

Following the completion of the PCP WISE call for tenders, the project is entering a key transition phase towards implementation. Communicating transparently about the procurement journey and its outcomes is essential to maintain stakeholder mobilisation and prepare suppliers and buyers for the upcoming R&D phases. This webinar will therefore focus on telling the story of the PCP process, from challenge definition to evaluation results, while highlighting key lessons learned and outlining the roadmap for implementation.

Webinar 2: Technology Foresight and Innovation Pathways for Climate-Resilient Water Management
17 September 2026 09:30 to 11:00 (Paris time)
This webinar aims to explore emerging technologies and trends relevant to climate-resilient water management, providing suppliers with strategic insights to better position their innovations within the PCP WISE challenges. It will also strengthen connections with the wider European innovation ecosystem by showcasing relevant foresight initiatives, R&I projects, and platforms. Finally, the webinar will support innovation readiness by translating foresight findings into practical implications for PCP design, solution development, and future market opportunities.
