Approaching the first year of implementation, the GreenLED consortium met at the end of May in Madrid to share the progress of this unique project. This project will create a reference in climate adaptation by demonstrating that rainwater can be a reliable source of water to meet growing urban water demand, meeting the regulatory constraints for public health and rainwater reuse in cities.

FieldFactors is one of the 32 startups selected in the 100+ Accelerator program to partner up with four of the largest consumer goods companies in the world, which are opening up their supply chains and leveraging their teams to maximise collective impact. FieldFactors is partnering up with AB InBev to improve water quality and access to water in water-stressed communities in AB InBev’s supply chain.

FieldFactors has been selected as a Top Innovator by UpLink, the innovation platform of the World Economic Forum. Fieldfactors is one of the 10 global winners of this year's Zero Water Waste challenge. In the challenge, Uplink looked for innovative water usage approaches to improve freshwater conservation from supply to demand, moving towards zero water waste.

FieldFactors is nominated for the Waterproof Award 2024. Since 2019, we have been working with cities and end users in Spain to mitigate urban flooding and tackle water scarcity with our BlueBloqs Circular water systems. For the positive impact or our work, we have been nominated for the Waterproof Award by Partners for Water.

A Dutch-Spanish consortium receives €3,000,000,- to scale up rainwater reuse in European cities. The project is funded by the EU funding instrument for the environment and climate action, LIFE. Two demonstration sites will be realized in Alphen aan de Rijn (The Netherlands) and Madrid (Spain), in which approximately 10 million liters of drinking water can be saved every year.

We are thrilled to be showcasing our solution in a pitch competition hosted by Imagine H2O and Wavin Group at the UN 2023 Water Conference in NYC next week. The pitches will cover the most promising solutions in each of the UN 2023 Water Conference themes: Water for Health, Sustainable Development, Climate, Cooperation, and Take Action.

We are very happy with our Partners for Water subsidy to explore opportunities in Oaxaca, Mexico. In the project, together with the urbanism firm BD+P and the Mexican consultancy firm Centro, we will assess how we can help Mexican cities and water users to tackle water scarcity and urban flooding with our rainwater reuse solutions. In this interview, Karina tells you more about the project.
