Waternet (Prodock)

Waternet is the water company that is responsible for the water of the municipality of Amsterdam. To bring the supply of safe, clean and sufficient (drinking and natural) water to a higher level, the company has an Innovation lab in Prodock, which functions as the innovation hub of the port of Amsterdam.

This lab is intended to accelerate innovations. It is the breeding ground where "Waternetters" work together with students and entrepreneurs, resulting in a cross-fertilization between disciplines.

For example, the lab is the home base of drone pilots, who develop applications for flying drones here, but also work on the self-propelled floating waste fishing boat Nautonomous and Emily, the water drone that visualises obstacles below the surface of the water.
