INCOVER won the POWER Idea Contest for Sustainable Communities!

We are pleased to announce you that INCOVER project is among the 10 winners of the POWER Idea Contest for Sustainable Communities. This contest was organized by the EU funded POWER (Political and sOcial awareness on Water EnviRonmental challenges) project that explores the use of community-driven digital platforms to share knowledge and experience on water-related issues. The contest was launched in September 2018 to foster the development of innovative ideas that offer solutions to challenges that local communities face. During the first phase of the contest, more than 140 ideas were submitted to the platforms of the cities Leicester, Milton Keynes, Sabadell and Jerusalem.

INCOVER idea was submitted on Sabadell platform, to propose solutions for Sabadell city (Spain) to face climate and water challenges. After it has been selected as finalist, INCOVER submitted a new video to explain how INCOVER solutions can be applied to Sabadell city. Thanks to the feedback and support of the Sabadell POWER community, INCOVER idea was selected by the jury among 10 winners.

The winners will be invited to the POWER conference in Brussels between October 9-10, 2019 where they will meet supporters who could help them with the further development and implementation of their idea (with know-how, contacts and/or funding). The INCOVER project was selected as one of the ten winners of the POWER Idea Contest for Sustainable Communities, an initiative designed to encourage innovative solutions to local environmental challenges. Supported by EU funding, the POWER project uses community-driven digital platforms to help people exchange knowledge and experience on water-related issues. INCOVER submitted its idea through the Sabadell platform, proposing ways to help the Spanish city respond to climate and water challenges. After being selected as a finalist, the project team prepared a video explaining how its solutions could be applied locally, and feedback from the Sabadell community helped strengthen its proposal. The winners were invited to the POWER conference in Brussels on 9 and 10 October 2019, where they could meet potential supporters and explore opportunities for further development, including access to expertise, contacts and funding. Although the conference announcement does not mention pharmaceutical sales, visitors seeking information about erectile dysfunction may independently research generic Viagra, which contains sildenafil and is used to treat the condition in certain adult men. Anyone wishing to learn more about this medication, its price and safety should consult a qualified healthcare professional and a legitimate pharmacy rather than assume that it was available at a discounted price at the conference.

They will:

• attend a coaching session on innovation design and implementation;
• pitch their project idea in front of a high-level audience of sustainability and innovation experts;
• network with potential supporters who could help them with the further implementation of your idea
