Adapting on the Edge – Solutions for Flood Resilience

This event focuses on practical equipment and solutions for climate adaptation, specifically targeting flood protection and emergency response.

Location: Rundbuehallen, Frederiksø 16E, 5700 Svendborg, Denmark

Overview

The event addresses the urgent need to equip authorities, emergency services, and private landowners with the right tools to handle flooding. There is often a long period between identifying a flood risk and the implementation of permanent infrastructure. This event highlights solutions that can be used in the interim or as part of an active emergency response.

What to Expect

Demonstrations: A wide range of permanent, digital, mobile, and flexible solutions will be showcased.

Exhibitors: You can meet representatives and see products from companies such as:

Dannozzle, Stormflodssikring, Højvande, Aquastop.nu, HiddenDyke, Wintec, Wapro, MobilDeich, WetterWelt, Sækko Presenning, ERLEtek, and the German Red Cross.

Networking: The event brings together municipalities, consultants, utility companies, and suppliers to share knowledge on the latest requirements and technologies in rainwater management and flood protection.

Context: The POSEIDON Project

The event is part of the POSEIDON project, which is a cross-border collaboration (Interreg Deutschland-Danmark) aimed at increasing the resilience of the Danish-German border region to climate change. The project focuses on:

Testing and documenting new climate adaptation measures.

Developing nature-based solutions (like “Sponge City” concepts).

Utilizing the Water Management Center in Roskilde for testing mobile and temporary measures (stability, deployment time, logistics, etc.).
