From December 11th to 13th, part of the NACE Project team, in collaboration with professionals from Peru, along with 23 teams (Projects) from various countries in Latin America, participated in an Innovation Laboratory, within the framework of the Latam4WEF (Water; Energy; Food) challenge, organized by the European Union and the German Government; aimed at students, entrepreneurs, SMEs, among others. A seedbed of ideas where the innovation and technology available today pose the need to promote projects that allow us to face issues of access and sanitation of water, energy solutions, and food security.

The NACE Project was among the 5 best evaluated by the jury and moved on to the next stage, allowing it to participate in the Innovation Academy, from January 16th to March 23rd, with the latter being the final day of the Latam4WEF, or Demo Day, where the winning project among the five finalists will be announced.

The Nace Project (Water/Hydroponics) started to take shape in 2019, with the technical assistance of the Water and Agriculture Desk of the Israeli Embassy in Chile. In partnership with professionals, NGOs, rural organizations, municipalities, government entities, national and foreign private companies, converging on the challenge of non-pollution or zero emission, supporting the trend of capturing emissions, revaluing and eliminating waste in a virtuous chain in partnership with SMO, a French company specializing in waste elimination for the production of clean energy (H2V) in a carbon-negative circular economy, fulfilling one of the transversal objectives that give rise to the project: meeting the demand for water in areas of high scarcity for human and agricultural consumption, contributing to the capture of CO2.

In addition, the NACE Campus will be developed, an open laboratory for the community, academia, schools, for productive development, hydroponics, agriculture, research, water treatment technology, bioclimatic construction, food production and processing, soil conservation and regeneration, energy efficiency, EERR, among other initiatives.

For us, as a non-governmental organization Maule Itata Coastkeeper, member of the Waterkeeper Alliance and part of the project team, it is very rewarding and enriching to generate proposals that have a real social impact in the search for solutions that improve the quality of life of our most vulnerable communities through the conservation of our natural spaces and, therefore, our communities.
