The Spectromarine technology developed at the Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia (ISSP UL) has been shortlisted for the Water Innovation Europe 2025 Awards in the Digital Water Innovation Award category.
This recognition comes from Water Innovation Europe 2025, the leading annual conference of the European water sector, held this year in Copenhagen. The event brought together more than 280 participants from across Europe – scientists, technology developers, policymakers, and industry representatives – to celebrate innovation and progress towards a water-smart society.
Spectromarine uses advanced optical spectroscopy to enable real-time water quality assessment and early detection of pollutants, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient approach to water management.
This is not the first award the innovative monitoring technology reaps – earlier this year, it won the BRYCK Hub Challenge where start-ups could present their ideas for smarter water analysis with the aim of detecting environmental hazards early which could increase operational safety and enable real-time monitoring.
It’s very encouraging to see innovations developed at ISSP UL be valued at an international level – continuous proof that our passion is truly driving progress in various fields.
