    The project will help SMEs to bring products to market for the water sector.It will accelerate time to market, and assist SMEs to develop products that are market-ready and linked to key sector needs. In a competitive global water market, pre-commercial testing is difficult and costly at operational scale and investors are reluctant to invest in unproven technology, so it can take 15-20 years to bring new technology to market.To increase market opportunities in this fast growing sector, the project will help SMEs from across NWE to test their innovative water technologies at TRL 5-8. This will be achieved by creating a transnational network of operational scale demonstrator sites in UK, FR, DE, NL and BE, which will offer a range of water types, clean and waste water, in rural and urban settings, for specialist applications such as pharma or agricultural.The test sites will be accessible to SMEs from anywhere in NWE, and the project has secured associate partners in other NWE countries to assist this access. By working closely with SMEs, offering them an integrated package of support and linking them to the best possible site for their needs, validation and commercialisation of near to market water solutions will be accelerated, providing an investor ready pipeline of new products and processes. The change the project will deliver is to accelerate the time to market, increase the proportion of products reaching the market, and supporting innovative technologies through the complex processes of verification and validation, which create particular pressures in the water sector.At least 120 SMEs will be supported by testing 90 new technologies, of which 30 will be brought to the market by the SMEs. In the long term, the network will remain in place after the project lifetime.A business model will be developed to continue collaboration between partners and provide access to the network of test facilities for SMEs on a paid-for basis after the project.
