OneAquaHealth: A Collaborative Journey towards Sustainable Urban Aquatic Ecosystems
Melding Technology and Innovation for Environmental Resilience
In the dynamic realm where technology meets ecology, the OneAquaHealth initiative is not only redefining the health of urban aquatic ecosystems but also garnering attention on a global stage. Recently, the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT), a vital partner in the OneAquaHealth consortium, seized a unique opportunity to showcase the project during a webinar organized by the DEETECHTIVE project.
DEETECHTIVE Project Collaboration:
The DEETECHTIVE project, a catalyst for transforming higher education institutions (HEIs) into entrepreneurial and innovative hubs, provided an ideal platform for HIT to present OneAquaHealth. During the webinar, attended by over 160 industry professionals, academic staff, and students, the participants exhibited profound interest and curiosity regarding the OneAquaHealth project and its technological facets.
DEETECHTIVE’s Vision for Innovation:
DEETECHTIVE operates on the belief that higher education institutions must evolve in response to the rapid changes brought about by Industry 4.0, social media, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The project seeks to empower HEIs to adapt to new ways of working, innovating, and studying. Focusing on deep tech—technologies rooted in scientific discoveries or engineering innovations—DEETECHTIVE aims to address complex problems and create new opportunities. Additionally, the project embraces open innovation, sharing economy principles, and social product development, emphasizing collaboration, co-creation, and resource sharing among diverse stakeholders.
Webinar Impact:
The webinar served as a crucial platform for HIT to spotlight OneAquaHealth’s mission and technological innovations. The participants engaged enthusiastically, recognizing the potential of the initiative to transform urban aquatic ecosystems and contribute to broader environmental resilience.
