Earlier this year, the H-HOPE project hosted its Mid-Term Event on Hidden Hydropower and Digitalisation in Water Networks at the stunning Palazzo della Salute in Padova. The day brought together experts, innovators, and stakeholders from across Europe to exchange ideas on how emerging technologies can make water systems smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.
From keynote talks and technical sessions to lively panels and hands-on workshops, the event explored the future of energy harvesting, digital monitoring, and system integration within modern water networks. Discussions touched on topics such as the state of Europe’s water infrastructure, the potential of hidden hydropower, advances in wireless technologies, and the real-world challenges of bringing innovation to scale.
To capture the energy and insights of this milestone event, we’ve created a short highlights video showcasing key moments, themes, and reflections from the day.
