MAIA-TAQA FINAL CONFERENCE  
       
“Environmental protection and fight against climate change”  
       
 
     
   

 

In light of the ever more pressing environmental challenges and the imperative to pursue sustainable development, it becomes essential to recognize the crucial importance of addressing issues related to wastewater management and energy use. These topics play a crucial role in achieving the goal of sustainable development and mitigating the environmental impacts resulting from resource utilization.
The MAIA TAQA project is designed for countries in the southern Mediterranean region, where the demand for energy and services is increasing, but efficiency and renewable energy are lacking due a dearth of appropriate innovation processes that could identify needs, structure creative solutions, and bring them to market. The project's goal is to define a new set of sustainable services related to energy, water, and waste and, consequently, promote innovative resource efficiency services in Mediterranean SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) by enhancing their technical and managerial capabilities.
UTILITALIA is pleased to invite you to participate in the final conference of the MAIA TAQA project, dedicated to the themes of environmental protection and fighting against climate change.

Data: 19 July 2023
Luogo: Hotel Cicerone, Via Cicerone 55/c - Rome
