On June 19th, the INNOWATER conference ‘Europe’s Next Super Model - Innovation systems, internationalization and tools for the European Water Sector’ will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The European Water Sector faces challenging circumstances. Public funding is cut across Europe, but innovation is ever more seen as a priority. A crucial question that arises is how governments can support innovation: What support can still be given by governments? What tools are required by SME’s to support them to innovate? How should these tools be linked to the government support systems?
