Calling all small and medium enterprises!
New Civil Engineer is launching an Innovation Accelerator at this year’s Flood Resilience conference.
The conference will showcase the latest thinking on flood prevention strategies with case studies and best practice, but the Innovation Accelerator will shine a spotlight on technologies developed by SMEs to deliver on the industry’s ambitions.
If you are a small medium enterprise (SME), you are challenged to present your innovation to tackle the issues surrounding resilience, mitigation or, carbon reduction within the flood sector to an expert panel of judges.
In no more than 800 words, describe the innovation and please explain how your idea unlocks one (or more of the following): advances in flood modelling or mapping, improves flood resilience and helps communities plan for climate change, brings use of data and technology to the floods sector, or helps the floods sector meet its drive to carbon net zero.
