Territorial innovation aims to improve the daily life of communities. However, its perception varies from one person to another. It could be defined as a new approach tailored to a specific problem or need of a community.
In France, more precisely in Paris, the Innopolis exhibition was established in September 2021 to reveal innovations that can change cities and territories. This show usually gathers about 150 exhibitors, more than 2000 visitors and more than 150 speakers. The Innopolis exhibition is the ideal setting for the various actors with supporting the territorial projects of local authorities.
The Innopolis fair in response to the upheaval of daily activities
Due to the recent global health crisis, people have faced a major upheaval in daily habits. In order to build a better world in this period of coming back to normal life, the first edition of Innopolis Expo was created and was held in Paris in September 2021.
The aim was to present innovative solutions to correct the social, technological and environmental problems of today’s society. On September 20 and 21, 2022, the Espace Champerret will host the 2nd edition of this exhibition dedicated to innovations that will reinvent the cities and territories of tomorrow.
Quite rightly, Innopolis Expo works in collaboration with companies and institutions as well as local authorities. The show brings together all project holders with the aim of exchanging on the possibilities to prepare the world of tomorrow.
Among the various collaborating companies, we find InovaYa, one of WeCo’s partners. It is a company that fights for the improvement of the availability and quality of water.
