How EIT Water Will Strengthen Europe’s Water Innovation Ecosystem

Meet Michelle H. Williams, Coordinator of EIT Water – the EIT’s newly selected Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC), established to turn Europe’s water challenges into solutions. How will the EIT’s tenth KIC build a pan-European ecosystem and accelerate innovation where we need it most?

Europe’s water systems are under growing pressure from climate change, pollution and ageing infrastructure. In this interview, Michelle H. Williams explains how EIT Water aims to tackle these challenges by bringing together business, research and education to turn ideas into real-world solutions. The initiative focuses on connecting fragmented efforts across Europe, supporting innovation, and building a strong, inclusive ecosystem that can scale practical solutions across regions.

As EIT Water prepares to open up to new partners and launch activities, it’s positioning itself as a central hub for collaboration, skills development and market-ready innovation in the water sector.
