Important results from the project

* Denna text är maskinöversatt * The goal of Future City Water is to take important steps in the development of a smart drinking water supply network from source to end customer, by developing tools that can collect and utilize entirely new and extensive amounts of data. The activities in the planning phase aimed at a deepen knowledge of needs and market in order to develop a system concept. This has been done through strategic analysis, in-depth dialogues and workshops with participating parties, as well as dialogue with a large number of stakeholders and existing suppliers in the market.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** All of the performance targets for step 1 have been met. The project´s focus on data collection and smart utilization of data throughout the entire process from source to end customer with the possibility to combine this with other sectors´ data collection and use, such as the energy sector, is unique. A clear vision of the final goal, a deeper understanding of the challenge and a basic structure for implementing steps 2 and 3. Concretely, there are also draft project agreements that regulate the parties´ rights and obligations in the next steps.

Approach and implementation

* Denna text är maskinöversatt * Already in step 1 there is a good balance between public actors, academia and small and large commercial parties in order to meet the social challenge. At the same time, we have been able to identify that we need to broaden the constellation of actors in the next steps in order to achieve the effect goals and get an industry-wide constellation with potential to work with a systems perspective and cross-sectoral innovation. The effect logic for step 1 has worked well as a red thread throughout the implementation and is considered to function in coming steps.
