First WaterBee Demonstration Site filmed by EuroNews
The first WaterBee Demonstration Site at Intercrop in Murcia, Spain, was filmed by EuroNews on 2 February 2012, for a 3 minute video on successful innovative products and services from EU programmes, to be broadcast in March 2012.
Third Project Meeting in Cartagena, Feb 2012
The third WaterBee DA Project Board and Executive Committee meetings took place in Cartagena, on 2-3 February 2012, hosted by Intercrop. These meetings reviewed the first Demonstration Site installation at Intercrop, and agreed the installation arrangement for the remaining sites in Estonia, Italy, Malta, Sweden and the UK.
Second Project Meeting in Barcelona, Oct 2011
The second WaterBee DA Project Board and Executive Committee meetings took place in Barcelona, on 20-21 October 2011, hosted by IRIS. These meetings considered the market potential for the WaterBee service, and agreed the functionality of the WaterBee system to be installed and demonstrated at the 6 sites in Estonia, Italy, Malta, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Significant WaterBee Market Potential
WaterBee market analysis concluded that there is a very significant market with clear potential take-up for its smart irrigation system and services, especially where growers’ costs are greatest, e.g. in Europe and USA. So all partners will disseminate WaterBee widely in their country, so that potential clients become familiar with it. The 6 project demonstration sites will compare results with many different crops and situations (vineyards, golf courses, watermelon…) and disseminate the WaterBee events.
The research leading to these results is funded by the European Community´s SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME (FP7/2007-2013) under the project "WaterBee DA" with grant agreement number 283638
