Framed within the RES4CITY project, the event will seek innovative solutions related to sustainability in cities. To this end, four round tables will be organised to address the following challenges: - optimising EV charging efficiency via smart energy solutions; - achieving efficient soil and land management through shifting business operations, in line with the principles of the circular economy; - designing green hydrogen production projects; - reusing greywater in urban areas.

Reporting
Session summary
The event focused on the presentation of the finalist ideas of the RES4CITY STARTUP EUROPE ACCELERATHON. This competition, held within the framework of the RES4CITY project, has been developing together with entrepreneurs from 11 countries different sustainable ideas aimed at the decarbonization of cities.
Specifically, the ideas were focused on different challenges such as the production of green hydrogen, the optimization of electric vehicle charging, soil management and the revaluation of grey water. In addition to the presentation of the ideas, we invited speakers from European associations working in these areas to provide an insider's view of the current state of these sectors and the challenges and opportunities they face shortly.
