Objetivo específico proyecto 27: SO 1.4 (...) Smart Specialisation / Industrial Transition / Entrepreneurship

The “Smart Green Water” project addresses the efficient management of water in irrigation systems through the use of Digital Twins, an advanced technology that creates dynamic and real-time virtual representations of physical systems. These digital twins integrate data from local and remote sensors to simulate, analyze, and optimize the operation of irrigation systems under various scenarios, such as water scarcity, climate change, or crop modifications.

This joint acceleration programme adopted by organisations will be the culmination of the implementation of a common strategy adopted by the six incubators (CARO, HIESE, IMT Alès, Albi, CEEIM, FUNDECYT). The successful adoption of the strategy will be made possible through the bi-monthly meetings of the consortium and through the deliverables. Indeed, each deliverable will contain a “best practices” section that will allow the members of the consortium but also the other readers of the deliverable to implement the SCAIRA methodology defined in the project strategy. Renault and AIRBUS ATLANTIC, as manufacturers directly concerned by this need for environmental transition in their respective ecosystems, will actively participate in the implementation of the strategy. The combined skills of the clusters’ incubators & ecosystems, as well as the support of the 6 industrialists (including Airbus Atlantic and Renault Espana) will create and deliver specialized services to accelerate the implementation of innovative green solutions in manufacturing companies in SCAIRA’s regions.

This pilot will target the educational community and will deploy a gamification program in schools that encourages mentality change in children. The program will involve 50 schools for 4-6 weeks. Clothing collection races will be organised with municipalities and textile waste managers. Practical upcycling and repair workshops will be held and students will collect from schools disused clothing from their families and social environment.

In France, a global industrial solution for textile waste recycling based on WASTEX technology and partnership with coleo will be implemented. This pilot has the industrial and organizational capacity of the members of RECYCL’Occ Textile. In Portugal, Texteis Penedo and CITEVE will develop new fibres from textile waste. The pilot in Portugal will process textile waste from TEXTEIS PENEDO and local agro-industrial waste in a bio-based formulation used to coat yarns, using a patented Jacquard fabric PP8 technology, to develop textile structures for home textile applications. In Spain, coleo will train partners from France, Spain and Portugal in post-consumer textile waste sorting technology. The waste streams that reach the processing plants will be analysed to characterise the type of waste and establish joint recovery and recovery priorities.
