Dinapsis DIH vision:

To this end, Dinapsis DIH will establish a work plan with all the territorial stakeholders that are already part of DIH (Competence Centers, Business Associations, Chamber of Commerce, Regional Entities, Reference Companies)

Three areas of activity:

• An operational Hub capable of managing, in real time, services and assets of the integrated water cycle managed by Hidraqua;

• An open and collaborative 'Lab' of innovation, an space where universities, start-ups and entrepreneurs can test their products in collaboration with institutions (mainly Cities), citizens and the private sector.

• Resulting in all this being a technological showcase of the city and the province where to project all the innovative initiatives.

These areas are focused on three main fields of action: 'Smart water' for the development of solutions with real-time response capability of service management; 'Smart environment' to provide security, continuity and quality in supply; And 'Smart Cities' for the promotion of cities that develop innovative initiatives.

We promote artificial intelligence solutions for cities, the first programme in Europe devoted to AI for Cities (AI4Cities).

We are a non-for-profit organization.

Dinapsis es el nuevo espacio tecnológico que opera, desarrolla y muestra las soluciones más avanzadas de la gestión territorial sostenible, con el único objetivo de ofrecer soluciones digitales que mejoren la calidad de vida de las personas y las ciudades. Dinapsis está centrado en tres ámbitos de actuación: un 'Hub' operativo con capacidad de gestionar, en tiempo real, los servicios y activos del ciclo integral del agua gestionados por Hidraqua; un 'Lab' de innovación abierto y colaborativo donde investigar nuevas necesidades de la ciudadanía en materia de medioambiental y el modo de solucionarlas; resultado con todo ello ser un escaparate tecnológico de la ciudad y la provincia donde proyectar todas las iniciativas innovadoras. Estos ámbitos están enfocados a tres grandes campos de actuación: 'Smart water' para el desarrollo de soluciones con capacidad de respuesta en tiempo real del gestión del servicio; 'Smart enviroment' para ofrecer seguridad, continuidad y calidad en el suministro; y 'Smart cities' para la promoción de las ciudades que desarrollen iniciativas innovadoras.
