Complete
Aims
The REDUCED project created a searchable Water Efficiency Technology Portal, giving trading parties access to emerging technologies that addressed customer pain-points, and verified technology developers access to retailers for trial opportunities. The portal served as a collaborative tool, enabling users to develop new skills and behaviours, further driving competition and the water efficiency profile of the non-household market.
You can view the portal here: https://mif.isleutilities.com/.
